House Committee Substitute → Perfected · 4 edits

MODERATE

This bill was significantly narrowed in scope from a comprehensive child protection and vulnerable persons reform to focus exclusively on marriage age regulations. The original House Committee Substitute version repealed dozens of statutes related to child safety, computer forensics, and adult cabaret regulations, while the perfected version only addresses marriage licensing requirements.

Scope change

The bill's scope was dramatically reduced from covering multiple areas of child protection, computer crime prevention, and adult entertainment regulations to solely addressing marriage age and licensing procedures.

SCOPE

Removed repeal of 60+ statutes covering child protection, computer forensics, and adult cabaret regulations that were originally included in the House Committee Substitute version.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific requirements for marriage license applications including online processing options, identity verification procedures for incarcerated or military applicants, and Social Security number collection.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed the marriage age requirement language from requiring both applicants to be at least eighteen years old to requiring at least one applicant to be a resident of the county or city where the application was submitted.

TECHNICAL

Removed the introduction of Senator McCreery and replaced it with Senator McCreey's name, along with changing the bill title from House Committee Substitute to Perfected Senate Substitute.
