STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27276 / H0349
In 1999, the legislature added the requirements in Section 32-403(2), Idaho Code, for obtaining a marriage
license. The word "department" in subpart (iii) is undefined and it is unclear to county clerks, who issue
marriage licenses, which department could add additional requirements for proof of lawful presence in the
United States. This bill removes the confusing language but maintains the intent of the policy the legislature
adopted in 1999 with the addition of subsection (2) to Section 32-403, Idaho Code.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no fiscal impact on the general fund, other state funds, or to any local government
budgets, because it merely strikes reference to an unknown and unascertainable department in Section
32-403(2)(b)(iii).
