The Let Our Vows Endure Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 allows 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, including changing references from "Clerk" to "Mayor or Clerk" in multiple instances, thereby granting the Mayor the authority to perform these functions. Additionally, it establishes a new process for the Mayor to create and issue marriage license forms, which must be consistent with existing forms but modified to reflect the Mayor's involvement.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the Mayor's responsibilities in maintaining records of marriage licenses issued and certificates returned, ensuring that these records are accurate and accessible. It specifies that the Mayor's authority to issue marriage licenses is temporary and only applicable during a federal government shutdown. The act is set to expire 225 days after its enactment, ensuring that this measure is a temporary solution to potential disruptions in marriage licensing services.
