On page 2, after line 37, insert the following:

"Sec. 2. RCW 26.04.160 and 1997 c 58 s 909 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) Application for a marriage license must be made and filed with the appropriate county auditor upon blanks to be provided by the county auditor for that purpose, which application shall be under the oath of each of the applicants, and each application shall state the name, address at the time of execution of application, age, social security number, birthplace, whether single, widowed or divorced, and whether under control of a guardian, residence during the past six months: PROVIDED, That each county may require such other and further information on said application as it shall deem necessary.

(2) (a) The county legislative authority may impose an additional fee up to fifteen dollars on a marriage license for the purpose of funding family services such as family support centers.

(b) The county legislative authority may impose an additional fee of three dollars on a marriage license to fund domestic violence prevention services and programs within the county or, if the county does not have such services and programs, to contract with community-based domestic violence program providers."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, correct internal references accordingly, and correct the title.

EFFECT: Allows county auditors to impose an additional $3 on marriage licenses to fund domestic violence services in the county or, if the county does not have such services, to contract with community-based domestic violence program providers.
