LOUISVILLE 颅颅鈥� Governor Matt Bevin issued an executive order today removing county clerks鈥� names from marriage licenses.

William Sharp, Legal Director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Kentucky, had this comment:

鈥淕overnor Bevin鈥檚 executive action has added to the cloud of uncertainty that hangs over marriage licensing in Kentucky. The requirement that the county clerk鈥檚 name appear on marriage licenses is prescribed by Kentucky law and is not subject to unilateral change by the governor 鈥� conceded by the previous administration in court filings. Today, however, a new administration claims to have that authority. The 老澳门开奖结果 continues to work with loving couples who hold marriage licenses of questionable validity and for those who are waiting to legalize their unions until this is resolved. And the 老澳门开奖结果 will continue to challenge government officials who disregard the law in favor of promoting their own personal beliefs to the detriment of the rights of others. Government officials, from the highest to the lowest, have a duty and responsibility to impartially administer the laws that exist, not the laws as they wish them to be.鈥�
