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 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 Ronald M. Slate of the town of Milton, in the city of Cambridge on August twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and ninety-one between Richard M. Rollins and Barbara Gilson both of the city of Portland in the state of Oregon, and the state secretary shall issue to said Ronald M. Slate a certificate of such authorization.
