AI Summary
This bill establishes procedures for issuing a new marriage record when the name of a party to the marriage has been changed. It allows the clerk of the county that issued the marriage license to issue a new marriage record upon the written request of both parties, if they provide proof of a court-ordered name change. The new record will use gender-neutral language and reflect the most recently established name of the parties. The new record will not be marked as "amended" or show that a change has been made. This bill aims to provide a streamlined process for updating marriage records when a party's name is changed.
