AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to establish the minimum age of consent for marriage in Michigan at 18 years old. It outlines the requirements for obtaining a marriage license, including submitting proof of age and paying a fee that is allocated towards family counseling services. The bill also allows a charter county with a population over 1.5 million to set a different marriage license fee. Importantly, this bill will only take effect if several other related bills are also enacted into law.
