Same-Sex Licenses Ruled Invalid

Four months after being issued same-sex marriage licenses, six Latah County couples are being told their certificates are invalid. Latah County Clerk-Auditor Henrianne K. Westberg said Wednesday the county was notified that the Idaho Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics would not be filing six same-sex marriage licenses and certificates issued in October. The county issued the licenses Oct. 10 following a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. Westberg, who took office Jan. 12, said the bureau sent a letter to Latah County Prosecutor William Thompson Jr. Jan. 27 saying the licenses and certificates were issued before an implemented stay had been lifted. The letter indicates licenses were not to be issued until Oct. 15/ Elizabeth Rudd , Lewiston Tribune. More here.
