SB 89 (2023)

Revise requirement for clerks to accommodate marriage licenses at different locations for medical reasons

Summary:

As introduced, this bill gave city and town clerks the power to decide whether or not to accommodate a person who is unable to appear in person for a marriage license due to medical reasons.

The Senate rewrote the bill. The amended bill requires a city or town clerk to accommodate parties unable to appear in person for a marriage license due to documented medical reasons, and allows electronic meetings for that purpose.

The House amended the bill to remove the option to meet electronically. A clerk may still accommodate parties with a documented medical issue by meeting in person at a different location.
