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

This bill, known as "Linnette Lebron's Law," amends New Jersey marriage and civil union laws to simplify procedures for couples where one partner is terminally ill. It allows the hospitalized partner's attorney-in-fact to obtain a marriage license on their behalf without requiring the ill person to appear in person, and permits the 72-hour waiting period for license issuance to be waived when a treating physician certifies the terminal illness. The law also requires officiants to submit the power of attorney along with marriage certificates for these cases, ensuring proper documentation while accommodating the medical urgency of terminally ill individuals.
