A bill to amend 1897 PA 180, entitled “An act to provide for the issuance of marriage licenses and certificates without publicity in certain cases; and to provide criminal and civil penalties for violation of this act,” by amending section 1 (MCL 551.201), as amended by 1983 PA 199.
This bill proposes amendments to the 1897 PA 180, which concerns the issuance of marriage licenses and certificates with confidentiality in specific situations, and outlines criminal and civil penalties for violations of the act. The amendments include provisions allowing a probate judge to issue a marriage license without publicity if the applicant provides a sufficient reason for secrecy, and under certain conditions, to marry individuals below marriageable age with appropriate parental or guardian consent.
