Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1887 PA 128, entitled "An act establishing the minimum ages for contracting marriages; to require a civil license in order to marry and its registration; to provide for the implementation of federal law; and to provide a penalty for the violation of this act," by amending section 3 (MCL 551.103), as amended by 2006 PA 578.

AI Summary

This bill amends a 1887 law to establish the minimum age for marriage in Michigan at 18 years old, removing the previous provision that allowed 16-year-olds to marry with parental consent. It also requires the county clerk to ensure the individual applying for a marriage license is at least 18 and to collect a $20 marriage license fee, with $15 of that fee allocated to the circuit court for family counseling services. Additionally, the bill specifies that it will only take effect if certain other related bills are also enacted into law.
