5:12Now PlayingCouples seeking to wed may continue to obtain a marriage license without an in-person appointment, thanks to a bill passed unanimously on the Senate floor Tuesday, January 19. A previous waiver eliminating the requirement that at least one person appear before a deputy registrar for a marriage license expired January 15. Senate File 26 would retroactively extend the waiver to May 31, 2021.
The bill’s author, Senator Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, told members that more conversations are needed to consider whether this waiver, and others, should become permanent. “It may be one of the blessings of this pandemic that streamlines and modifies our way of governing on some of these administrative functions,” he said.
