DELAWARE STATE SENATE
150th GENERAL ASSEMBLY
SENATE BILL NO. 177
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 RELATING TO SUSPENSION OF DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR SCHOOL EXPULSION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
Amend § 2732(e), Title 21 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:
(e) The Department shall forthwith suspend the license or driving privileges, or both, of any person who has been expelled from a public school upon receipt of notice from the superintendent of schools for the school district in which such school is located, that such person has been expelled. No insurer may increase the premiums charged for, or reduce the coverage provided by, any policy of vehicle insurance, as defined in § 906(a)(1) of Title 18, solely as a result of the suspension of a person's license or driving privileges under this subsection.
SYNOPSIS
This amendment brings into conformity the provisions of Title 21 with those of Title 14 relating to the revocation of a student’s driving privileges when he or she is expelled from a public school. Prior amendments to Title 14, Section 4130 and Title 21, Section 2707 removed the requirement that the Secretary of the Department of Motor Vehicles revoke a student’s driving privileges upon notice from the superintendent of a public school that the student had been expelled. This amendment accomplishes the intent of those prior amendments by removing surplus language in the parallel section of Title 21.
