ND rationalizes Cohabitation Law (almost).

Rather than poke fun at ND for having an anti-cohabitation law in the first place, I'm commending the ND state Senate for passing a bill making cohabitation OK unless you claim to be married. Too many states have laws like ND's, where living together is technically a "sex crime" punishable by 30 days and $1000, but don't act to repeal them.

However, I'm not sure how you prosecute a "claim" to be married, or what damage it causes. But this is a step in the right direction.
