Bill overview
Assembly Bill 4545, known as "Linnette Lebron’s Law," modifies the procedures for obtaining marriage or civil union licenses when one party is terminally ill. The bill allows for a waiver of the standard 72-hour waiting period, potentially through a power of attorney or telephone communication with the licensing officer, and requires certification from the terminally ill person’s treating physician. It also clarifies the definition of ‘terminally ill’ and addresses perjury related to false statements made during the licensing process.
