This bill authorizes Daniel Vaca to solemnize the marriage of Kaley Erin O’Connor and James John Pawelski in the City of Newport, Rhode Island, on or about October 12, 2025. It explicitly states that this action is permitted notwithstanding any other general or special law, thereby granting Vaca the legal authority to perform the marriage ceremony in accordance with Chapter 3 of Title 15 of the General Laws, which governs the solemnization of marriages.

The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage, ensuring that the authorization for Vaca to officiate the marriage is in place for the specified date. There are no deletions from current law, but the insertion of the specific authorization for Vaca is a notable addition to the legal framework regarding marriage solemnization in Rhode Island.
