This bill proposes the elimination of the $50 fee currently charged for filing a certified copy of an order for change of name in New Jersey. Under existing law, individuals seeking a name change, often due to marriage or divorce, are required to pay this fee. The bill aims to alleviate this financial burden for residents who wish to change their names.

The specific legal language being amended includes the deletion of the fee for filing a certified copy of an order of change of name, as indicated in the bill's text. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the state's commitment to making the name change process more accessible for its residents.
