IN RE:
HB3666 by Kolkhorst (Relating to the application for and issuance of a marriage license.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add to the list of documentation that could be used to establish proof of identity for the issuance of a marriage license. The bill would amend requirements related to the issuance of a certified copy of a recorded marriage license and the correction of an error discovered on the recorded marriage license. The Texas Health and Human Services Commissioner would be required to adopt rules detailing acceptable proof of the legal authority to consent to the marriage of an underage applicant and by rule prescribe the form of the affidavit for correcting an error in a recorded marriage license.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
