Markell signs license late fee waiver for Guardsmen
By Frank Gerace Bookmark and Share

National Guardsmen whose state licenses expire while they're on active duty don't have to pay late fees, thanks to a bill signed into law Thursday by Governor Markell.

House Bill 483, sponsored by Smyrna Democrat Bill Carson, gives Guardsmen a 90-day grace period after they return from deployment during which they can renew expired driver's licenses, car registrations, professional licenses and licenses for hunting, trapping and fishing without having to pay late fees.

Markell signed the measure in a ceremony at the Delaware National Guard tent at the State Fair in Harrington.
