Michigan HB4604 amends the Foreign Marriage Act to make references gender neutral.
Michigan HB4604 amends the Foreign Marriage Act to remove gender-specific language, ensuring that the act applies equally to all marriages regardless of the gender of the parties involved. The bill repeals section 2 of 1939 PA 168, which previously excluded same-sex marriages from being recognized in Michigan. This change aligns the act with evolving legal standards and ensures that all valid marriages solemnized in other states are recognized in Michigan, regardless of the gender of the parties.
