Colorado Attorney General John Suthers has given the Boulder County Clerk's office until noon on Tuesday to stop issuing same-sex marriage licenses or face further action from his office.
If the clerk stops issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples before that deadline, the AG's office is offering to file a joint request to the Colorado Supreme Court, asking the court to decide if the clerk has legal authority to issue the licenses.
Accepting Suthers' offer will "obviate the need for us to take any further action regarding your issuance of licenses," according to a letter sent to the Boulder office on Friday.
On Monday, the Boulder County attorney sent an e-mail to the AG's office, requesting that the clerk have until July 10 to respond.
