VETO December 20, 2019
TO THE SENATE:

I am returning herewith, Without my approval, the following bill:

Senate Bill Number 6330-A, entitled:

ACT to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to Who may
solemnize a marriageThis bill amends the Domestic Relations Law to expand the number of federal court
judges who may perform marriage ceremonies in New York.

I cannot in good conscience support legislation that would authorize such actions by
federal judges Who are appointed by this federal administration. President Trump does not
embody who we are as New Yorkers. The cornerstones that built our great State are diversity,
tolerance, and inclusion. Based on these reasons, I must veto this bill. Based on these reasons, I
must veto this bill.

The bill is disapproved.
