Professional Licensing/Proof of Citizenship/Not Required/Codify

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act codifies the current practice in Delaware of not requiring proof of citizenship or a specific immigration status on an application for a professional license. By affirmatively providing eligibility for professional licenses regardless of immigration status, this Act brings Delaware into compliance with a federal requirement in place since August 22, 1996, under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1621(d), and provides public notice of this policy.
