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 allow immediate issuance of marriage and civil union licenses upon application, eliminating the current 72-hour wait to receive the license. However, couples must still wait 72 hours after receiving the license before the ceremony can occur, unless waived by a Superior Court in emergencies or for active-duty military members. The bill streamlines the process by removing the need for couples to return to the licensing office for the license, while maintaining the waiting period for ceremonies. Exceptions for emergencies and military members remain unchanged from existing law.
