Authorizes members of the New Jersey State Legislature to solemnize marriages and civil unions.
This bill amends New Jersey law to authorize current members of the New Jersey State Legislature to solemnize marriages and civil unions while serving in office. It directly affects all sitting state assembly members and senators, adding them to the existing list of authorized officiants (which includes judges, clergy, and certified civil celebrants). The key mechanism is an amendment to Section 37:1-13, explicitly including "every current member of the New Jersey State Legislature" in the list of individuals permitted to legally officiate weddings. This is a procedural change to officiant qualifications, not a substantive shift in marriage law.
