Concerning the immediate use of marriage licenses for medical necessity.

Summary

The bill changes Washington’s marriage‑license rules so a license can be issued and used immediately when a doctor certifies that one or both partners are at risk of imminent death or incapacity. It retains the normal three‑day waiting period and 60‑day validity for all other applicants. The change helps couples secure legal marriage benefits quickly in life‑threatening situations.
