Provides for immediate issuance of marriage and civil union licenses; provides for 72 hour waiting period prior to ceremony.

This bill changes New Jersey law to issue marriage and civil union licenses immediately upon application, eliminating the current 72-hour wait for the license itself. However, it maintains a 72-hour waiting period between license issuance and the ceremony, meaning couples must wait 72 hours after receiving their license before the ceremony can occur. Exceptions include emergencies (where a Superior Court can waive the period with proof) and active duty military members, who are exempt from the waiting period. The change aims to save couples the trip to pick up their license without altering the existing waiting period before the ceremony.
