Marriage record provisions modified.
HF 956 modifies Minnesota's marriage record procedures by updating how marriage data is collected and reported. It requires marriage license applicants to provide Social Security numbers (though they won't appear on the license) and adds new disclosures for applicants with felony convictions regarding name changes. The bill also establishes a registration process for civil marriage officiants and amends application forms to include specific personal and marital history details. These changes affect marriage applicants, county registrars, and officiants handling civil ceremonies, while repealing outdated sections of law. The bill focuses on administrative updates to marriage documentation standards.
