Impact analysis
The direct budget impact looks small—mostly city clerk paperwork and registry administration—though it could nudge employers and insurers to revisit benefits down the line.
Polyamorous families and other non-traditional households get official city recognition, which can make it easier to handle local paperwork and feel seen.
No groups negatively affected—this expands recognition without taking rights from anyone.
