Modifies the three-day waiting period for marriage licenses by excluding Sundays, holidays, and days when the clerk's office is closed from the count (previously these days were included)

Removes requirements for clerks to record parental or guardian consent information on marriage licenses, as consent provisions for minors are eliminated
