HB187 An Act To Amend Title 4 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Direct Purchasing And Shipment Of Wine. Like House Bill 187, this substitute permits wine producers holding a valid license within this State or another state to obtain a license and ship wine directly to Delaware consumers, so long as it is done through a common carrier permit.

SB165 An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Student Improvement Component. Like Senate Bill No. 165, this Act requires the Department of Education to pilot a revised student improvement component under the Delaware Performance Appraisal System and Delaware Teacher Growth and Support System beginning in the 2025-2026 school year before implementing it statewide. The revised student improvement component must consider factors such as student absences, mobility, and noncompliance that may adversely affect a students performance. During the 2026-2027 academic year, the pilot program will expand, allowing for further refinement of implementation and support structures.

SB174 An Act To Amend Title 11 And Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To An Animal Abuse Offender List.

It also requires schools to notify students of the opportunity to earn elective credit through volunteer work at or before the time students select their classes. Passed
HB160 An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Related To Delaware National Guard Education Benefits. The Delaware National Guard provides financial assistance to eligible service members for certain postsecondary education tuition and fees. Under the current education benefits program, the Delaware National Guard reimburses service members for tuition and fees the service members have already paid. But young service members often cannot take advantage of this program because they cannot afford to pay upfront for tuition and fees. This also hurts Delaware National Guard recruiting efforts because potential service members may choose to join National Guard programs in other states that do not require service members to pay upfront for tuition and fees. Keeping the Delaware National Guard fully staffed is essential to responding to state emergencies. Lack of staff also leads the Department of Defense to shift positions from the Delaware National Guard to other states that can recruit at higher levels than Delaware. This results in reduced mission capability in Delaware and less federal funding coming to Delaware. Passed
SB156 An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Medical Debt Protection Act. This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 156. Like Senate Bill No. 156, this Substitute prohibits the reporting of medical debt to consumer reporting agencies and prohibits any medical debt from being included on a consumer report. Since 2023, at least 9 other states have passed laws that prohibit or restrict the reporting of medical debt on credit reports, including California, New Jersy, and Virginia. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 156 in that it (1) adds language to the purpose section of the statute making it clear that the intent of the chapter is for medical debt not to be used in credit, employment, or housing decisions; (2) removes the proposed definition of medical debt information and instead adds a definition of medical debt; and (3) removes the proposed prohibition language on using a credit report containing medical debt information from being used when making decisions regarding someones credit, employment, or housing. Passed
SB107 An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Interstate Compact For School Psychologists. This Act enacts the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists (Compact), which is designed to facilitate the interstate practice of school psychology in educational settings. School-based mental health services are in high demand in Delaware, but workforce shortages can make it difficult to meet that demand. By creating an additional licensing pathway for school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses to practice school psychology in any state that is a member of the Compact, the Act aims to increase the availability of school psychological services for students in this State. Passed
SB118 An Act To Amend Chapter 472, Volume 83 Of The Laws Of Delaware Relating To Civil Actions For Tortious Injuries, Including Death, To Lawfully Owned Pets. In the 151st General Assembly, SS1 to SB 258 was passed, which permitted pet owners to pursue compensatory damages without limitation for veterinary bills incurred to care for a pet that was injured by the negligence, reckless, or intentional acts of another individual or that individual's pet. This act removes a sunset provision that would have these changes expire on October 14, 2025. Passed
SB143 An Act To Amend Title 12 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fiduciary Access To Digital Assets And Digital Accounts. Ohio recently adopted Bradens Law, named after Braden Markus. Braden, a high school student, tragically took his own life after being coerced into sharing sensitive photographs online and then threatened with release of the photographs on social media if he did not pay money. Bradens parents, Jenn and Jarod, endured months of anguish after being denied access to Bradens personal cell phone records. In response, part of Bradens Law requires courts to adjudicate a parent or legal guardians request for an order directing access to a deceased minors digital assets and digital accounts within 30 days.

This Act permits local education agencies to provide early childhood professional development in play-based learning, which may include professional development programs developed by the Department of Education. This Act also permits the Department to promulgate regulations for purposes of implementing this Act. Passed
HB21 An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Tianeptine. This Act bans the sale of Tianeptine in the State by identifying it as a Schedule I controlled substance. Tianeptine, also known as gas station heroin, is an antidepressant drug that is not approved by the FDA and is being sold as a dietary supplement in gas stations and other shops. This Act requires approval by a two-thirds vote because the statutory change will result in the expansion of an existing misdemeanor. Passed
HB71 An Act To Amend Title 14 Relating To Interscholastic Athletics. This Act requires the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association to promulgate regulations requiring all coaches to have CPR, first aid, and automated external defibrillator (AED) training.

This Act requires that a school board candidate and member be an inhabitant of the district, or designated portion of a district, that member represents.

Further, the bill provides that if a school board member is not physically present in their district for more than 75% of the days in any yearlong period of that members term, the member ceases to qualify as an inhabitant. Absence required by military service is not counted as absence for purposes of this statute. This Act provides that a resident of a school district may bring an action in Superior Court asking the Court to declare a vacancy if the resident has cause to believe a member is no longer an inhabitant of that members district. Signed/Enacted/Adopted
HB91 An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Meals.

Passed
SB91 An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Title Ix. This Act requires schools that receive federal funding ensure students, staff, and faculty are protected from sex-based discrimination and sex-based harassment.

This bill removes the buy-out for contractors to avoid participating in apprentice programs by paying into the Apprenticeship and Training Fund created in 2021. This buy-out benefits bad actors or those businesses only coming into Delaware to work on state taxpayer-funded projects whereas most Delaware merit shops and 100 percent of union shops have apprentice and training programs.

Delaware's current fireworks laws have led to confusion among consumers and noncompliance, with individuals frequently using fireworks outside of legally permitted days. Many consumers are unaware they are breaking the law, while those who knowingly violate it face fines too low to serve as a deterrent. This results in ongoing nuisances for neighbors, increased risks of bodily harm, and heightened dangers of fires and property damage. Additionally, out-of-state retailers advertise illegal fireworks in Delaware without consequence, further misleading consumers. The absence of a registration process for fireworks retailers limits the State Fire Marshals ability to oversee the sale and distribution of these potentially hazardous products. This bill strengthens enforcement by increasing fines, regulating sales through a permit system, ensuring consumer awareness through required safety information, and generating revenue for the Fire Marshals office to improve oversight and public education.
