Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1 RCW 26.04.050 and 2012 c 3 s 4 are each amended to read
as follows:
The following named officers and persons, active or retired, are
hereby authorized to solemnize marriages, to wit: Justices of the
supreme court, judges of the court of appeals, judges of the superior
courts, supreme court commissioners, court of appeals commissioners,
superior court commissioners, judges of courts of limited jurisdiction
as defined in RCW 3.02.010, judges of tribal courts, and any regularly
licensed or ordained minister or any priest, imam, rabbi, or similar
official of any religious organization((, and judges of courts of
limited jurisdiction as defined in RCW 3.02.010)). That a marriage is
solemnized by a dully appointed tribal court judge from a federally
recognized tribe pursuant to authority under this section does not
create tribal court jurisdiction and does not affect state court
authority as otherwise provided by law to enter a judgment for purposes
of any dissolution, legal separation, or other proceedings related to
the marriage that is binding on the parties and entitled to full faith
and credit."
