BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: HOUSE BILL 5577 (SUPPORT) AUTHORIZING COUNTY CLERKS TO WAIVE A
3-DAY WAITING PERIOD FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act No. 128 of the Public Acts of 1887 places the
responsibility of waiving a 3-day waiting period for issuing a marriage
license with Probate Judges; and
WHEREAS this provision of a law enacted over 100 years ago clearly is
outdated because County Clerks are the keepers of records and vital
documents while Probate Judges are concerned with judicial matters which
include estates, mental health and juvenile services; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5577 serves to update an antiquated law by
amending the statute to relate to county government as it is today.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners takes a position supporting House Bill 5577.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all
legislators from Oakland County and to the Board's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
