Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately authorize the solemnization of a certain marriage, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of section thirty-nine of chapter two hundred and seven of the General Laws, the state secretary may authorize in the manner set forth under said section thirty-nine, the solemnization of a marriage by Vanessa M. Wilson, as she is a justice of the peace of the state of New Hampshire, in the town of Chilmark on September fourteenth, nineteen hundred and eighty-five between Leslie E. Meras of the town of West Tisbury and Kenneth B. Hurd, III of said town, and the state secretary shall issue to said Vanessa M. Wilson in her capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
