Increases the marriage ceremony fee and the marriage license fee in the city of New York
This bill increases the fees for marriage services in New York City, directly affecting couples who wish to get married there. Under the new rules, the cost for a city official to perform a wedding ceremony would rise to $55, and the fee for obtaining a marriage license would increase to $60. These charges must be paid by the couple before or at the time the service is provided, with the collected money going to the city's finance department. The changes are set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
