BILL NUMBER:S6942A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to the duty of town and city clerks PURPOSE: To allow city and town clerks with flexibility to administer verified statements and affidavits required when applying for a marriage license. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of Section 15 of the Domestic Relations Law is amended to allow verified statements and affidavits required when applying for a marriage license, be made before any regular clerk of the city or town clerk's office or the clerk's designee who is authorized to administer oaths designated for that purpose by the city or town clerk. JUSTIFICATION: In the circumstance of Town-issued marriage licenses, State law requires the Town Clerk to hear and accept affidavits. Howev- er, with increased responsibilities of Town Clerks, the Town Clerk may not be available to be present for affidavits. This law would allow a designee of the Town Clerk, such as their Deputy or other eligible staff member, to accept affidavits. Current law already allows this for City Clerks and their designees.
