The bill introduced by Representative LaLonde proposes to repeal the sunset provision related to the increase in marriage license fees established in 2023. Specifically, the 2023 Acts and Resolves No. 19 raised the marriage license fee from $60.00 to $80.00, with the portion retained by the town clerk increasing from $10.00 to $15.00, and the amount directed to the Domestic and Sexual Violence Special Fund rising from $35.00 to $50.00.

In the amendments, the bill deletes the previous effective date of July 1, 2025, for the marriage license fee changes, allowing the new fee structure to remain in effect indefinitely. Additionally, the bill states that it will take effect upon passage, ensuring that the increased fees are maintained without a future expiration date.
