The Let Our Vows Endure Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 is designed to allow the Mayor of the District of Columbia to issue marriage licenses and authorize temporary marriage officiants during periods when the Clerk of the Superior Court is unable to do so due to a federal government shutdown. The bill amends several sections of the existing law, specifically changing references from the Clerk to the Mayor in various contexts, thereby granting the Mayor the authority to perform these functions. Notably, it includes provisions for the Mayor to create a specific form for marriage licenses and maintain accurate records of all licenses issued.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the Mayor's authority to issue marriage licenses and authorize officiants is limited to times when the Clerk is not issuing licenses due to a federal shutdown. The amendments also ensure that records of marriage licenses issued by the Mayor are maintained and can serve as competent evidence of marriage. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with emergency legislative procedures.
