Today, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and Equality Florida sent a six-page memo to the court clerks of Florida’s 67 counties.
The memo explains why – notwithstanding contrary advice provided to the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers in legal memoranda from a private law firm dated July 1, 2014 and Dec. 15, 2014 – Florida Court Clerks are compelled and certainly permitted to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples beginning Jan. 6, 2015.
