Driver's licenses: United States Foreign Service.
Summary
Existing law requires a California driver's license held by a person who enters or is in the United States Armed Forces to continue in full force and effect, so long as, among other things, the service continues and the person remains absent from this state, and for a period not to exceed 30 days following the date the holder of the license is honorably separated from service or returns to this state. Existing law extends this benefit to a spouse of that person, as specified. This bill would also extend that benefit to a person who enters or is in the United States Foreign Service, or the spouse of a person who enters or is in the United States Foreign Service, subject to similar conditions, for a period not to exceed 30 days following the date the holder of the license returns to this state.
