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 on the minimum age for marriage in Michigan. The key provisions are: 1. The minimum age for marriage is set at 18 years old. The previous law allowed 16-year-olds to marry with parental consent, but this bill removes that exception. 2. The county clerk is required to ensure the individuals applying for a marriage license are at least 18 years old by checking their birth certificates or other proof of age. The clerk cannot issue a license until this requirement is met. 3. The bill maintains a $20 marriage license fee, with $15 of that allocated to the circuit court for family counseling services. The county board can set a different fee amount in counties with a population over 1.5 million. 4. This bill will only take effect if several other related bills (Senate Bills 211 and 212, and House Bills 4293 and 4296) are also enacted into law.
