Summary
Official abstract published by the Delaware legislature· synopsis
As a part of Delaware’s commemoration of Delaware’s 250th anniversary of Separation Day and America’s semiquincentennial, this Act establishes a new background special license plate that will be made available to those Delawareans wishing to honor and appropriately remember this special time in our State’s history.
A background special license plate supports a cause and is available for purchase by the public at large. The numbers, letters, or both, assigned will be the same as the license plate assigned to the owner’s vehicle at the time of the application for the plate.
This Act requires a greater-than-majority vote for passage because Article VIII, § 11 of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of 3/5 of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly when a new tax or license fee is imposed.
