This bill prohibits individuals under 18 years of age from receiving marriage licenses or establishing domestic partnerships in California.

The bill also consolidates licensing and certification requirements for substance use disorder treatment facilities, creating a streamlined process for operators with multiple facilities in the same location. Finally, it repeals provisions related to reporting marriage certificate information and requirements for local registrars.
