MI HB5675

Adds township supervisors as individuals authorized to solemnize marriages in the county where the township is located.

Allows township supervisors to charge and collect a fee determined by the township board, paid to the township treasurer and deposited in the township's general fund at month's end.

Changes the population threshold for county clerk office employees authorized to solemnize marriages from 2,000,000 to 1,500,000 inhabitants based on the 2010 federal decennial census.

Clarifies that marriages solemnized by township supervisors (along with other authorized officials) are valid if consummated with the belief of the parties that they were lawfully married, regardless of any lack of jurisdiction or authority.

Updates statutory language for consistency, replacing "want of jurisdiction" with "lack of jurisdiction" and revising phrasing in marriage validity provisions.
