BREAKING NEWS - City of Miami Commission Passes Domestic Partnership Ordinance for City Employees
On Thursday, June 11, 2009 the City of Miami Commission voted unanimously, 5 – 0, to adopt a Domestic Partnership Ordinance, becoming the third municipality in Miami-Dade County to do so. Commissioners Sanchez, Sarnoff, Regalado, Gonzalez, and Spence-Jones voted in favor of the Ordinance.
The new Ordinance will allow the City of Miami to offer health benefits to the declared domestic partners and their children of city employees in the same manner as the city offers such benefits to spouses of married heterosexual employees. The Ordinance was similarly adopted by the City of Miami Beach and the City of North Miami. Miami-Dade County also offers similar benefits to county employees as the result of work done by SAVE Dade and its partners for an ordinance passed in May of last year. |
