By: Hughes S.R. No. 929
SENATE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, Regular Session, 2017, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
House Bill 555 (an additional fee for issuing a marriage license
to applicants who are not residents of this state and the form of
a marriage license and application for a marriage license) to
consider and take action on the following matter:
Senate Rule 12.03(1) is suspended to permit the committee
to amend text not in disagreement in proposed SECTION 6 of the
bill to read as follows:
SECTION 6. The change in law made by this Act applies
only to a marriage license issued on or after January 1, 2019. A
marriage license issued before January 1, 2019, is governed by
the law in effect immediately before the effective date of this
Act, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
Explanation: This change is necessary to delay
implementation of the bill until January 1, 2019.
