Michigan HB4710 increases marriage license fees and earmarks funds for family counseling services.

Michigan HB4710 amends the marriage license fee structure, raising it to $50.00. Charter counties with a population over 1.5 million can set different fees. The bill allocates $15.00 from each fee to circuit court family counseling services, including domestic violence and child abuse counseling. If these services are not established, the funds can be used to contract with public or private agencies. The remaining fee goes to the county's general fund.
