Same Sex
Marriage
On June 24, 2011, the New
York State Legislature passed the Marriage Equality Act
which was signed into law by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
the same day. This new law will take effect on
July 24, 2011. The City of Oneonta City Clerk will
begin issuing marriage licenses on Monday, July 25th to
same-sex couples. State law requires couples
to wait 24 hours after receiving a license before they
can be married unless a waiver of the waiting period is
obtained by a State Supreme Court Justice. The
City Clerk's Office has compiled a list of
officiants who
are willing to perform a same sex marriage.
