Bill > H5061

This bill proposes changes to how justices of the peace, who are officials authorized to perform marriages and other legal ceremonies, advertise their services. Specifically, it aims to modernize advertising methods by allowing justices of the peace to use a wider range of public media, including digital platforms like websites and social media, in addition to traditional print media such as newspapers and telephone directories. The bill also updates the language to be gender-neutral by replacing "his" with "their" and requires justices of the peace to include their email address in their advertisements, alongside their phone number.
