Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

This Act replaces the phrase "United States Armed Forces or of the National Guard" with "uniformed services of the United States," and defines "uniformed services of the United States" as meaning any of the 8 of the United States service branches and the National Guard. Usage of "Armed Forces" or "military" is often misunderstood to mean only the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Space Force, and United States Coast Guard. Using "uniformed services of the United States" more accurately includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corp. This Act makes clear that veterans all 8 services branches are qualified to obtain veteran designation on their driver licenses. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
