Illinois HB2493 mandates county clerks to implement a video conferencing process for marriage license applications.

HB2493 amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to require county clerks to establish a process for marriage license applicants to appear via electronic communication devices in video conferencing applications.

Additionally, county clerks must provide a pamphlet on fetal alcohol syndrome with each marriage license and report annually on compliance to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
