Jackson County Clerk's office to issue same sex marriage licenses
Submitted by jcht2010 on
Jackson County Clerk Barbara Williams announced today that the office will be issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples.
The United States Supreme Court ruled in a historic and controversial decision on June 26 legalizing same sex marriages nationwide, leaving county offices across the state in difficult situations, some going ahead and issuing licenses, and some awaiting guidance from State Authorities. Some clerks faced confusion based on differing instructions from Federal and State authorities.
The Jackson County Clerk’s office has only received a few calls and one email regarding the issue, and will issue the licenses as per the Supreme Court ruling, effective immediately.
