Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation (S.3756/A.55) Tuesday waiving the state fee for marriage licenses for active duty members of the U.S. armed forces or their spouses. The bill also gives local governments freedom to waive the fees they charge for marriage certificates for active duty service members or spouses.
"These brave men and women leave their loved ones behind and risk their lives to protect the freedoms and values that this nation and this state were founded upon," Cuomo said. "Waiving this fee is one small way to thank these valiant New Yorkers for their service."
