Summary

Existing law allows a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is stationed overseas and serving in a conflict or a war and is unable to appear for the licensure and solemnization of the marriage to enter into that marriage by the appearance of an attorney in fact, commissioned and empowered in writing for that purpose through a power of attorney duly signed by the party stationed overseas and acknowledged before a notary or witnessed by 2 officers of the United States Armed Forces. This bill would provide that the completion of the power of attorney is the sole determinant as to whether the county clerk's office or State Registrar will accept the power of attorney.
