Relating to changes to certain marriage-related forms.
HB 1814 amends Texas marriage license application forms to add specific requirements for applicants. The bill requires couples to confirm they are not currently married, not related by certain family relationships (including in-laws), not divorced within 30 days, and not delinquent on child support. It also adds a new option for applicants to voluntarily contribute $5 to the Texas Home Visiting Program. These changes apply directly to individuals applying for marriage licenses in Texas. The bill standardizes the form's content without altering marriage eligibility criteria.
