Following Judge Piazza's initial ruling, county clerks were prohibited by state law from issuing licenses to same-sex couples, largely preventing such marriages from taking place in the state. However, Judge Piazza then subsequently expanded his ruling striking down a constitutional ban to also include the statutory prohibition on clerks issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Piazza's ruling, now suspended by the state Supreme Court, which effectively legalised same-sex marriage in the state of Arkansas, is being appealed by Democratic Attorney General Dustin McDaniel.

  • Following Judge Piazza's initial ruling, county clerks were prohibited by state law from issuing licenses to same-sex couples, largely preventing such marriages from taking place in the state. However, Judge Piazza then subsequently expanded his ruling striking down a constitutional ban to also include the statutory prohibition on clerks issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Piazza's ruling, now suspended by the state Supreme Court, which effectively legalised same-sex marriage in the state of Arkansas, is being appealed by Democratic Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. The first marriage license for a same-sex couple was issued May 10, 2014, in Carroll County. Piazza's ruling will be appealed by the state of Arkansas, represented by Democratic Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. Since McDaniel's office has requested a judicial stay, same-sex marriage has only been performed in a few counties. But the Arkansas Supreme Court refused to issue the stay. Judge Chris Piazza declared that the 1997 statutory ban (Act 144) and the 2004 constitutional ban (Amendment 3) violate the Federal constitution. On May 15, 2014, Judge Piazza extended his ruling to strike down the state law prohibiting clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, effectively allowing marriage licenses to continue to be issued to same-sex couples. The ruling was stayed however.
