Bill Caption
Relating to authorizing current and former members of the state legislature to conduct a marriage ceremony.
Bill Analysis
This bill would add current and former members of the state legislature to the list of individuals qualified to conduct a marriage ceremony. It would also stipulate that they may not perform more than 3 ceremonies in a 12 month period; conducting a marriage ceremony for a current or former member of the armed services would not count towards 3 ceremony limit; they may not be compensated for performing a ceremony.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Though it is difficult for us to find a legitimate reason for legislators to give themselves a certain privilege that not all are entitled to, it does not fall outside the legitimate authority of the legislature to write such a law. For these reasons, we will remain neutral on SB 322.
