Senate Bill 299, which has to do with Marriage Licenses, will go into effect on June 14, 2013.

Changes

The changes are as follows:

• Sixteen and seventeen year olds must have a signature from all parents listed on their Birth Certificate. (BOTH mother and father if they are listed.)
• A Social Security Number must be obtained from any person that has been issued one when applying for a marriage license. (This information will be kept confidential for one year and then destroyed.)
• Retired judges, justices and magistrates now have the authority to perform marriages.
