What it does: As introduced, lowers the marriage age to 17 when one party is an active-duty service member, the other is at least 17, and one is a state resident, requiring parental permission for a non-military 17-year-old. Removes outdated age-waiver language. (AI-written summary of the bill; the official record shows the exact version voted)
