LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2600, as amended, Ma. Marriage: solemnization.
Existing law provides that a marriage may be solemnized by
authorized persons of any religious denomination, by specified
legislators, constitutional officers, and California Members of
Congress, while those persons are currently holding that office, and
by specified justices, judges, and magistrates, both current and
retired.
This bill would authorize an elected mayor of a city, while that
person holds that office, to solemnize a marriage ceremony, and would
require the mayor to obtain and review from the county clerk all
available instructions for marriage solemnization before the mayor
first solemnizes a marriage.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
