WHEREAS the County of Oakland is from time to time asked to financially assist local
communities in their pursuit of providing necessary infrastructure and government services through

permanently reduce the County's financial ability to act on behalf of the entire County.

establishes a policy that no County funds be loaned or advanced to any local unit of government or
any local unit's agency, commission, authority or board, without the prior approval of the Oakland

IN RE: HOUSE BILL 5108 (SUPPORT) AUTHORIZING COUNTY CLERKS TO WAIVE THREE-DAY MARRIAGE LICENSE
WAITING PERIOD
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS as provided in Act 128 of the Public Acts of 1887 a license to marry may not be
issued until three days after application unless the Judge of Probate waives the three-day waiting
period for good and sufficient cause; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5108 would amend this 102 year old law and place the responsibility of
waiving the three-day waiting periods on County Clerks rather than Probate Judges; and
WHEREAS since marriage licenses are issued by County Clerks, it would be more practical to
have any waiting period waivers also come from that office; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5108 would simplify record keeping by involving only one office in the
marriage license process and it would discontinue requiring a judge's time and attention on a matter
not demanding legal expertise.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports House
Bill 5108 which has passed the House and awaits Senate consideration.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the State Senators from
