House Bill No. 6045
This bill aims to amend a current law regarding marriage licenses in Michigan.
It allows for marriage licenses to be issued without publicity if there is a valid reason
for keeping the exact date of marriage a secret, as determined by the probate judge.
Additionally, it allows for minors to marry without publicity if certain conditions are met,
such as written consent from parents or guardians.
If the noncustodial parent is absent or unable to give consent, the consent of the custodial
parent is sufficient. The bill also gives the probate judge the authority to correct
the date on the marriage license if needed.
Enacting section 1:
This amendment will only be implemented if a specific resolution becomes a part of the state
constitution as outlined in the bill.
