Original Note:
There is nothing in the full text of the bill to suggest that it permits the denial of a marriage license - which is issued prior to solemnization. It would allow government officials to refuse to officiate a civil ceremony based on their conscience or religious belief. https://www.knoxcounty.org/clerk/marriagelicense.php https://legiscan.com/TN/text/HB0878/2023
