HANOVER — The town of Hanover board has decided to waive the fees on marriage licenses for active duty members of the Armed Forces.

On Aug. 20, 2019, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation waiving the state fee on marriage licenses for active duty members of the Armed Forces. The legislation also gives local governments the freedom to waive the fees they charge for marriage licenses.

At Hanover’s monthly board meeting on Monday, they proposed a resolution to waive the fees charged on marriage licenses and the resolution was carried unanimously.
