Modernizing Civil Relief for Service Members Act

Summary

The bill adds language to dozens of Maryland licensing statutes so that active-duty service members, eligible veterans and their spouses can obtain temporary or reciprocal licenses based on a license they hold in another state. It also expands the definition of “eligible veteran” to include former service members discharged before they apply for a Maryland license. The changes aim to reduce licensing barriers for military families who move frequently.
