Senate panel blocks bill to lift marriage license surcharge cap

The bill aimed to let counties set higher fees to fund domestic violence programs, with Frederick currently charging $45 on top of the $10 state fee. The House had approved the measure 104-28 earlier, but opponents argued the change broadens fees without statewide oversight.
