What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the prohibition against a person marrying for six months

after the grant of that person's judgment of divorce. Under current law, a person who

was married and party to a divorce action in this or another state may not marry

again until six months after a judgment of divorce is granted. This bill eliminates

the waiting period.
