Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Noncompliance With Sentencing.
AI Summary
This bill amends Delaware law to create specific criminal penalties for individuals who breach the no contact provisions in their sentencing orders. If a person who was previously sentenced for one or more felonies violates a no contact order, they will be charged with a class G felony. Similarly, if a person who was previously sentenced for one or more misdemeanors (but no felonies) violates a no contact order, they will be charged with a class A misdemeanor. Each violation is considered a separate criminal charge, meaning a person could potentially face multiple charges for repeated breaches of the no contact provision. The bill explicitly states that these new penalties do not prevent courts from taking additional actions, such as punishing violations of probation. By creating these specific criminal consequences, the bill aims to strengthen enforcement of no contact orders and provide a clear legal framework for addressing such violations.
