Let Our Vows Endure Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution declares an emergency to temporarily amend District law, allowing the Mayor to issue marriage licenses during federal government shutdowns when the Superior Court Clerk cannot. It directly affects District residents and couples planning weddings who would otherwise face disruption due to the Court's inability to function. The key mechanism is authorizing the Mayor to issue licenses as a temporary emergency measure, bypassing the usual requirement that the Court handle this non-essential function. The resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption.
