Bill > HB2120

This bill, relating to marriage license agents in Hawaii, proposes to amend existing law to allow private individuals who act as marriage license agents to charge applicants a higher fee for their services. Currently, these agents are limited to collecting $5 per license, but this bill seeks to increase that amount to a maximum of $25. The legislature finds that these private agents provide valuable support to couples seeking marriage licenses, offering services like appointment scheduling and document review, and that the current fee may not adequately compensate them for their efforts and the costs associated with providing these services. The bill aims to better support the delivery of marriage licensing services by enabling these agents to retain the full amount of this increased service fee for their compensation.
