2006 Senate Bill 1106 ↩

Senate Roll Call 354: Passed

To allow for electronically-submitted marriage license applications. The county clerk accepted would have to print the required application in the form of an affidavit and have a party named in the application sign it in person. The bill provides that a marriage license application would be a nonpublic record and exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, but would have be available to the people named in it. The bill also allows a county clerk to charge a fee if the the license is delivered immediately. Under current law, a marriage license may not be delivered for three days, although a county clerk, for good cause shown, may deliver the license immediately.
