Utah has decriminalized bigamy, which allows two people to marry while one or both of them is already married, to a crime carrying the same penalty as a traffic ticket.

Utah GOP Gov. Gary Herbert signed the bill into law in March and it has gone into effect today.
Republican state Sen. Deidre Henderson, who sponsored the bill, said Utah's previous law never kept people from maintaining polygamous relationships, it only pushed them into the shadows.

How does insurance work?
Does the employer have to give all your spouses coverage?
That train left the station with allowing homosexual marriage.
After they've got their share of the Alpha male, they will want him all to themselves.
Pedophilia is just around the corner.
Huh. So that slippery slope just became a sheet of ice. Never mind, it’s all in the plan to destroy our nuclear family oriented culture. I fear we will not awaken from this nightmare in my lifetime.
When “gay marriage” was imposed by judicial fiat, many liberals told me that slippery slopes don’t real. Looks like they were wrong.
One dude and five ladies. Two blondes and three brunettes. Where’s the redhead?
Bigamy, polygamy, gamy....meh, its Utah, one weird a** state.
And Polyandry, Plural Marriages, Bestiality?
The Mormons should know better than to open that door
So is this a one time traffic ticket, or can you keep getting fined?
A lot of women would rather share an Alpha male, than have a beta all to themselves.
More likely they just want a man around part time.
Yep. As predicted by Robert Bork, slouching towards Gomorrah.

Next will be incest marriage (brother-sister, mother-son, etc), afterwards it will be group marriage (two men marrying two woman, etc.) then finally child marriage (a 62 year old man marrying a 6 year old girl).
Hopefully, the democrat, liberal evil world will come to an end before this comes to fruition.
Very interesting question. It will end up in court very soon. If the court says “cover them all”, insurance rates may drastically jump. Perhaps one will be allowed to cover some spouses and leave others uncovered. Or an insurer may pull out of the state.
Are they going to bring back LDS theocracy, too? PHOOEY!!!!
Not this cowboy. Just think of 3 or 5 wife's hen pecking you all the same time. Then trying to break up their fights.
Sounds like hell to me.
” to a crime carrying the same penalty as a traffic ticket.”
The punishment of having multiple wives should be enough to deter most.
