"Linnette Lebron's Law"; modifies procedures for marriage or civil union where a party is terminally ill.

S 77, "Linnette Lebron's Law," modifies New Jersey's marriage and civil union licensing rules to allow terminally ill individuals to marry more quickly. The bill requires a treating physician's certification of terminal illness to waive the standard 72-hour waiting period for obtaining a marriage or civil union license. It also mandates that if one party is terminally ill, their legal representative (attorney-in-fact) must apply for the license alongside the other party. This change directly affects terminally ill residents seeking to formalize their relationship without delay.
