Bill Summary
An act to amend Sections 297, 423, and 2210 of, and to repeal Sections 297.1, 298.8, 302, 303, 304, and 1501 of, the Family Code, and to repeal Sections 102233 and 102356 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to marriage.
AI Summary
This bill completely prohibits anyone under 18 years of age from getting married or entering into a domestic partnership, which is a legal relationship that provides individuals with rights, protections, and benefits similar to those of marriage. To accomplish this, the legislation repeals existing laws that previously allowed minors to marry or form domestic partnerships with parental consent and a court order, removes outdated pathways for underage marriage and partnership, updates marriage annulment rules to reflect the new age limit, and eliminates the requirement for state and local officials to track and report data on marriages involving minors.
