HOW TO REQUEST CONTINUATION OF LICENSE OR PERMIT
Senate Bill 206 was passed into law to protect active duty military, activated reservists or members of the National Guard from having their professional licenses or permits expire during active military deployments. Pursuant to 29 Delaware Code, Section 8735 (p), active duty military, activated reservists or members of the National Guard who qualify can have their professional licenses continue during active military deployments. The protection from license or permit expiration provided under this provision does not void or limit the obligations of a Qualifying Person to meet all requirements of licensure as required under the applicable statutory requirements for which the license or permit is sought. A Qualifying Person means a member of the Active Duty Military, National Guard or the military reserve who is deployed by the President of the United States or the Governor of this State.
