NJ A4226

Marriage and civil union licenses would be issued immediately upon application filing, rather than after the current 72-hour waiting period for license issuance

The 72-hour waiting period shifts from before license issuance to before the ceremony can be performed, eliminating a return trip to pick up the license

Superior Court may waive all or part of the 72-hour pre-ceremony waiting period in emergency cases upon satisfactory proof

Active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard are exempt from the 72-hour waiting period before the ceremony

Marriage and civil union licenses remain valid for 30 days after issuance
