AI Generated Summary

The bill introduced by Pursell aims to update the language used in Minnesota's law regarding contracts between individuals living together outside of marriage. Specifically, it seeks to replace gender-specific terms with gender-neutral terms in Minnesota Statutes section 513.075. The law currently applies to agreements on property and financial matters between unmarried couples, which are enforceable if they are in writing, signed by the involved parties, and enforcement is sought after the relationship ends. This change is meant to modernize the language to be inclusive of all gender identities.
