# Delaware HB 402 (149) — AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 AND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EXPULSION OF STUDENTS.
Previously, a school superintendent was required to notify the DMV any time a student was expelled from a public school, at which time the DMV was permitted to suspend or refuse to issue or renew the expelled student a driver’s license. This bill eliminates the ability for the DMV to suspend a student’s driver’s license who has been expelled from a public school.
