Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Veteran Designation On Driver Licenses.
AI Summary
This bill amends Delaware's driver license law to expand the definition of veterans who can receive a veteran designation on their driver license. Currently, the law only recognizes veterans of the United States Armed Forces or National Guard, but the bill broadens this to include "uniformed services of the United States," which now explicitly encompasses eight service branches: the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with their reserve components and the National Guard. The bill aims to clarify and expand veteran recognition by allowing veterans from all these services to qualify for a veteran designation on their driver license if they were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Additionally, the bill adds two new forms of acceptable proof of service: the PHS Form 1867 for Public Health Service officers and the NOAA Form 56-16 for NOAA personnel, thereby providing more comprehensive documentation options for veterans seeking this designation.
