Sen. Jim MathiasWMDT 47 NEWS - Starting tomorrow, Maryland veterans will be eligible to put their military status on their driver's license.
It's a move that intends to assist those who served in Maryland an easier way to receive benefits. State Sen. Jim Mathias (D-Dist. 38) co-sponsored the bill with Del. Norman H. Conway (D-Dist. 38B) after Worcester and Somerset Co. veterans reached out to him.
"The
Veteran's ID bill demonstrates how
citizens and their elected representatives effectively work together," said Sen. Mathias to WMDT.
"Veterans
from Worcester and Somerset county reached out to me and explained how
important allowing a designation on our Maryland driver's license would be to
assist our Maryland veterans in receiving their benefits, both government and
private sector, they have justly earned.
"As we celebrate the New Year, the
veteran's ID bill is a great way to 'say thanks' to our veteran men
and women that have protected the foundation of our freedom and democracy,
while keeping us safe. Their service provides the inspiration for those currently
serving our country today and insures our freedoms for tomorrow."
