An act to amend Section 511 of the Family Code, relating to marriage.
AI Summary
This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing California law regarding confidential marriages, which are marriages between two unmarried adults who have been living together as spouses and are not minors. The changes primarily involve ensuring that the language used to describe the records maintained by the county clerk is consistent, such as changing "certificates" to "certificate" when referring to a single document. It also clarifies that the county clerk will keep "an original certificate of confidential marriage" for one year, rather than "all original certificates of confidential marriages." These adjustments aim to improve the clarity and accuracy of the legal text without altering the substance of the law governing the confidentiality and accessibility of these marriage records.
