Summary

Existing law enumerates persons who are authorized to solemnize a marriage, including judges and retired judges. Existing law prohibits a judge, elected official, or city clerk from accepting compensation for solemnizing a marriage. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for a judge, justice, commissioner, or assistant commissioner of a court of this state to accept money or another thing of value for performing a marriage, but excepts the acceptance of a fee to perform a marriage on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday. This bill, to the extent not prohibited by law and provided that the compensation is reasonable, would authorize specified officials, including retired judges and retired commissioners, to accept compensation for solemnizing a marriage. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
