Allows immediate use of marriage licenses for medical necessity in Washington.

The bill amends Washington law to allow county auditors to issue marriage licenses immediately if a physician certifies medical necessity, such as when an applicant is at risk of imminent death or incapacity. Previously, licenses had to be used within 60 days and could not be issued until three days after application. This change ensures that couples in urgent situations can marry without delay.
