The document summarizes the status of same-sex marriages in Indiana according to recent court rulings and provides instructions to executive branch agencies. It outlines that a district court struck down Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage but that ruling was stayed by an appeals court. However, the appeals court did recognize the marriage of one same-sex couple. The general counsel then instructs agencies to comply with the appeals court's stay of the district court ruling, and thus consider Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage as still in effect, except for recognizing the one couple's marriage as ordered. Agencies are told to contact the general counsel if they have any legal issues in applying this policy.
