The Polk County recorder says she has been instructed by the county attorney to stop accepting same-sex marriage applications.
Julie Haggerty says the instructions came from the county attorney's office after Judge Robert Hanson verbally issued a stay of his ruling striking down same-sex marriages.
The county plans to appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court. Haggerty says she is not permitted to accept any more applications from gay couples until after the high court rules.
