Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Marriage and  Dissolution  of  Marriage  Act.      
   Provides  that, if the parties to a prospective marriage submit to the      
   county clerk a  pre-marital  education  program  certificate  and  the      
   parties  have  complied with other applicable requirements, the county      
   clerk shall issue a license to marry without delay. Provides that,  if      
   the  parties  have  complied with other applicable requirements but do      
   not submit a pre-marital education  program  certificate,  the  county      
   clerk  shall  issue  a  license  to  marry  60  days after the date an      
   application for a marriage  license  is  submitted;  however,  if  the      
   parties submit a pre-marital education program certificate during that      
   60-day  period,  the  county clerk shall then issue a license to marry      
   without further delay.  Provides that a pre-marital education  program      
   certificate shall be issued to parties to a prospective marriage after      
   the  parties  complete  a pre-marital education program conducted by a      
   behavioral health professional or  an  official  representative  of  a      
   religious   institution.  Sets  forth  various  program  requirements.      
   Provides that, if either of the parties to a prospective  marriage  is      
   under  18 years of age and unemancipated, one parent or legal guardian      
   of each party shall also complete the program.
