Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. § 107, Title 13, Delaware Code is amended by adding a new subsection thereunder to read as follows:

No refund or rebate shall be given for the unused license, nor shall said license be reinstated or post-dated. The procedure to secure another license shall be the same as that provided for the initial application including compliance with Section 141 of this Chapter.
