PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The first General Assembly vote on gay marriage this year is scheduled for Tuesday.
The announcement comes the day after the House Judiciary Committee held a six hour hearing on a bill -- H-5015 -- sponsored by Rep. Arthur Handy, D-Cranston.
The proposal would allow same-sex marriage and recognize unions previously made under the state's existing civil unions law as marriages.
The hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Room 205 of the State House.
