"Linnette Lebron's Law"; modifies procedures for marriage or civil union where a party is terminally ill.

"Linnette Lebron's Law" modifies New Jersey's marriage and civil union procedures for terminally ill individuals. The bill waives the standard 72-hour waiting period when a terminally ill person's treating physician certifies their condition (defined as an illness expected to result in death within 12 months). It allows terminally ill individuals to obtain licenses through an attorney-in-fact (with proper documentation including power of attorney and physician certification) or via telephone communication with the licensing officer. The law requires verification by a witness and documentation to be included in the marriage or civil union certificate. This directly affects terminally ill individuals seeking to marry or form a civil union while hospitalized.
