  1 14    Sec. 2.  Section 331.605, subsection 6, Code 1999, is
  1 15 amended to read as follows:
  1 16    6.  For filing an application for the license to marry,
  1 17 thirty forty dollars.  For issuing an application for an order
  1 18 of the district court authorizing the validation of a license
  1 19 to marry before the expiration of three days from the date of
  1 20 issuance of the license, five dollars.  The district court
  1 21 shall authorize the early validation of a marriage license
  1 22 without the payment of any fees imposed in this subsection
  1 23 upon showing that the applicant is unable to pay the fees.

  1 25    This bill increases the fee collected by the county

  1 30 still forwarded to the state registrar, but the additional $10
  1 31 of the increased fee is retained by the county for deposit in
  1 32 the general fund of the county.
