This Act replaces the phrase "United States Armed Forces or of the National Guard" with "uniformed services of the United States," and defines "uniformed services of the United States" as meaning any of the 8 of the United States service branches and the National Guard. Usage of "Armed Forces" or "military" is often misunderstood to mean only the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Space Force, and United States Coast Guard. Using "uniformed services of the United States" more accurately includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corp. This Act makes clear that veterans all 8 services branches are qualified to obtain veteran designation on their driver licenses. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

This Act amends the Charter of the Town of Selbyville (Selbyville) by doing all of the following: 1. Divides Selbyville into 4 election districts. The 4 election districts must be nearly equal in population based on the most recent federal decennial census. 2. Changes the composition of the Town Council so that the 4 members are comprised of 1 member from each district. Each member must be nominated and elected by the registered voters of the district in which the member resides. 3. Requires that a candidate for Mayor or the Town Council be a resident of Selbyville for at least 2 years. 4. Makes corresponding revisions to the staggered terms served by members of the Town Council.
