| SB10 | An Act To Amend Title 11 And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Modification Of Sentences Of Incarceration. | Currently, the Department of Correction (Department) biennially reviews individuals sentenced to more than 1 year of incarceration to determine if there is good cause to recommend a sentence modification to the Board of Parole for an individual who is not a substantial risk to the community or the individuals self. Good cause includes the individuals rehabilitation, serious medical illness or infirmity, and prison overcrowding. While any individual is eligible for consideration due to a serious medical illness or infirmity, only those who have served at least ½ of their sentence for a violent felony or all of the statutorily mandated term of incarceration are eligible for consideration for rehabilitation, prison overcrowding, or another reason. If the Department recommends an individual for sentence modification, the Board of Parole considers the application and, if the Board approves, the sentencing court then makes a final determination on the sentence modification. | Crossed Over |
| HB34 | An Act To Amend The Charter Of The City Of Newark Authorizing The City Of Newark To Levy A Tax On Colleges And Universities Within The City Of Newark. | This Act amends the Newark Charter by authorizing the City of Newark to levy and collect a per student, per semester tax on Colleges and Universities that host in person classes which are located within the boundaries of the City of Newark. This tax applies to all colleges and universities including any organizations that are considered subdivisions or agencies of the State of Delaware or are otherwise tax exempt, including but not limited to the University of Delaware. The amount of the tax will be adjusted annually in an amount not to exceed the change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, not seasonally adjusted). It also limits the available payment methods to restrict the use of credit cards for the payment of the aforementioned tax. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a municipal charter. | Passed |
| SB4 | An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Office Of Inspector General. | This Act establishes an independent and nonpartisan Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the position of the Inspector General. Under this Act, the OIG would be unique in state government as a non-political agency with a sole mission to investigate and prevent fraud, waste, mismanagement, corruption, and other abuse of governmental resources. The OIG will protect the health and safety of Delaware residents, assist in the recovery of misspent or inappropriately paid funds, and strengthen government integrity and the public trust in government operations by doing all of the following: | Crossed Over |

| HB43 | An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Appeals. | This bill adopts an inmate mailbox rule similar to the federal inmate mailbox rule. If a pro se inmate files an appeal while incarcerated, the date of filing will be counted as the date that that the inmate gave the appeal to the DOC officials for mailing rather than the date that the Courts receive the appeal. | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |
| HB114 | An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Motorized Scooters. | This bill allows for the limited use of low-speed motorized scooters in Delaware. High speed scooters will remain banned. | Crossed Over |

This bill amends the administrative fee by stating that the fee may be "up to" $25. | Passed |
| HB1 | An Act To Amend The Delaware Code Relating To Creation Of A Delaware Department Of Veterans Affairs. | This Act establishes a new state-level Department of Veterans Affairs led by a cabinet-level Secretary to advocate for and administer programs relating to veterans in the State of Delaware. It is the intent of this legislation that current staff of the Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs and the Office of Veterans Affairs will continue their work, but as part of the new Department of Veterans Affairs, with the potential for expanded staff and duties in accordance with annual appropriations. The Department will hire veterans wherever possible. The Commission of Veterans Affairs will continue in its current form. It will continue to oversee the Delaware Veterans Home and will serve in an advisory role to the new Secretary and Department on other matters relating to veterans. The new Department is tasked with developing and proposing strategies for the provision of alternative elder care or the establishment of one or more additional veterans homes to serve the aging veteran population. | Crossed Over |
| 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. The Act further requires schools to communicate to students, through their website, the existence of Title IX administrators as required by federal law. The Act requires the schools website provide information explaining the roles and duties of Title IX administrators, how to contact the appropriate Title IX administrator, and the schools Title IX policy. The Act ensures that students have access to the appropriate forms to start a complaint and access to the FAQ link provided by U.S. Office of Civil Rights. The Act instructs the school to provide an explanation and examples of possible supportive measures for students who experience sex-based discrimination or sex-based harassment. | Crossed Over |
| SB100 | An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article I Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To The Right To Marry. | This Act is the first leg of an amendment to the Delaware Constitution establishing that the right to marry is a fundamental right and that Delaware and its political subdivisions shall recognize marriages and issue marriage licenses to couples regardless of gender. The right to marry regardless of gender does not infringe upon the right to freedom of religion because religious organizations and members of the clergy have the right to refuse to solemnize a marriage. | In Committee |
| SB3 | An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article V Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Voting. | This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 3. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 3. in that it incorporates technical corrections made to the Delaware Constitution by House Bill No. 10 (153rd General Assembly). | Crossed Over |
| HB162 | An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Multilevel Distribution Companies. | This Act defines a multilevel distribution company and multilevel marketing program for purposes of this Subchapter. | In Committee |

| SB136 | An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To State Government And The State Employees Pension Plan. | This Act adopts a recommendation made by the Delaware Compensation Commission in its January 6, 2025, report. Specifically, this Act changes the minimum amount of pension payable to a member of the General Assembly elected after February 28, 2025, because the pension amount will no longer be calculated by multiplying the elected officials years of service as an elected member of the General Assembly times the highest rate of payment being paid to any retired member of the General Assembly. Instead, the pension payable to an elected official of the General Assembly elected on or after February 28, 2025, shall be computed under § 5527(a)(1) of Title 29. | In Committee |
| HB167 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Family Justice Center Council. | This Act expands the composition of the Family Justice Center Council by removing a single member that previously represented the health care community including both mental health providers and sexual assault nurse examiners, and instead adding one member representing the mental health care provider community, one member representing the sexual assault nurse examiner community, and one member representing system-based police or prosecution victim service specialists. | In Committee |
| SB2 | An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article V Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Voting. | This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 2. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 2 in that it incorporates technical corrections made to the Delaware Constitution by House Bill No. 10 (153rd General Assembly). | Crossed Over |

| HB180 | An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article V Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Voting. | This Act is the first leg of an amendment to the Delaware Constitution that does all of the following: | In Committee |
| HB133 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fines, Fees, Restitution, And Other Court-related Monetary Obligations. | Currently, even when a defendant or individual obviously does not have the means to pay a financial penalty or fee, Delaware Courts are unable to waive certain mandatory minimum fines or fees at sentencing. This can create a constitutional crossroads, as our justice system has long recognized that the Fourteen Amendment prohibits punishing a person for his poverty. Bearden v. Georgia, 461 U.S. 660, 671 (1983). This Act gives courts the discretion to waive fines and fees, in whole or in part, in appropriate circumstances. It also creates a presumption that fines and fees will not be imposed when a defendant shows evidence of certain conditions, including receiving a public assistance benefit (like Medicaid, SNAP, or veterans benefits) or being represented by the Office of Defense Services. It also creates a hearing process for anyone already sentenced to pay a fine or fee. The changes in this Act are based on recommendations of the Criminal Legal System Imposed Debt Study Group created by House Bill 244, as amended by House Amendment No 2, of the 151st General Assembly, in its December 7, 2023, report. | In Committee |
| HB153 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Arrest And Detention. | This Act prohibits arrest or detention by any person who does not have explicit statutory authority to carry out an arrest or detention. The intent of this provision is to eliminate any doubt that a citizens arrest is not permitted in Delaware. Peace officers have statutory authority to make arrests, as do federal law enforcement agents and out-of-state police under some circumstances. There is also limited authority to detain a person suspected of shoplifting provided to a merchant, store supervisor, agent or employee of a merchant in § 840 of Title 11; to detain a person suspected of unlawful recording by a motion picture theater owner, supervisor, agent or employee under § 858 of Title 11; and to detain a person suspected of unlawful acts with a video lottery machine by a video lottery agent or any of its officers, employees or agents under § 1474 of Title 11. | In Committee |
| HB182 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Law Enforcement Agency Agreements. | This Act prohibits law-enforcement agencies from entering into agreements with federal immigration enforcement authorities to enforce immigration violations or share immigration enforcement related data. | In Committee |
| SB8 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Probation And Sentencing Procedures. | This Act codifies the standard conditions of probation to be used by the courts and the Department of Correction. | In Committee |
| SB7 | An Act To Amend Title 11 And Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Criminal Justice System, Including Probation. | This Act is based on Senate Substitute No. 3 for Senate Bill No. 4 of the 152nd General Assembly, which modernizes Delawares probation system, including by directing the courts, the Board of Parole, and the Bureau of Community Corrections to use the least restrictive probation and parole conditions and the most minimally intrusive reporting requirements necessary to achieve the goals of community supervision. | In Committee |
| HB185 | An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Site Readiness Fund. | This Act allows an applicant who seeks to create affordable housing to apply for Site Readiness Funds so long as the applicant demonstrates that the affordable housing will increase economic development in the State. | In Committee |
| HCR58 | Recognizing The Impact Of Project New Start In Supporting Successful Reentry For Justice-impacted Individuals In Delaware. | This House Concurrent Resolution recognizes and commends Project New Start for its invaluable contributions to criminal justice reform, reentry support, and community empowerment. It also urges continued legislative and financial support for Project New Start and similar evidence-based reentry programs as critical tools for building safer, more equitable communities. | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |
| HB151 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Detention Facilities. | This Act prohibits the operation of private detention facilities in the State of Delaware. | In Committee |
| HB154 | An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Gun Safety Equipment. | This Act provides immunity to nonprofit organizations who distribute new secure gun storage and safety devices to individuals so long as the devices are distributed in their original packaging and are unopened. The nonprofit must provide gun safety pamphlets with the distribution of gun storage and safety devices. This Act does not limit any liability on the part of the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the secure gun storage or safety device. | Crossed Over |
| SB82 | An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Lethal Violence Protective Orders. | This Act changes the period of time for which relief may be granted under a lethal violence protective order from 1 year to 5 years. | Crossed Over |
| SB66 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Sex Offender Community Notification. | Beginning in 2002, schools, school districts, and licensed child care providers have been required to keep binders of community notifications with information about registered sex offenders. This requirement was enacted based on recommendation from the Community Notification Task Force that schools have a role in community awareness. However, this requirement has created financial, administrative, and emotional burdens for staff who maintain the binders. The binders are rarely reviewed by the public and they do not necessarily provide up-to-date information or information on sex offenders in the immediate geographic area of the school, school district, or licensed child care provider. Additionally, in its March 31, 2002, report, the Community Notification School Task Force found that schools do not have the expertise to answer inevitable questions regarding the nature of particular offenses or the risk posed by particular offenders, and that it is not an appropriate role for educators to answer those questions. | Crossed Over |
| HB140 | An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To End Of Life Options. | This Act permits a terminally ill individual who is an adult resident of Delaware to request and self-administer medication to end the individual's life in a humane and dignified manner if both the individual's attending physician or attending advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and a consulting physician or consulting APRN agree on the individual's diagnosis and prognosis and believe the individual has decision-making capacity, is making an informed decision, and is acting voluntarily. This Act is the same as House Bill No. 140 (152nd) with 1 technical revision to include a definition of "physician" for consistency and to clarify that a physician must be licensed in Delaware. | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |
| HB36 | An Act To Amend Title 2, Title 6, Title 9, Title 10, Title 14, Title 19, Title 20, Title 24, Title 25, And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Discrimination. | This Act aligns Delawares non-discrimination laws. Delaware has several broad laws that prohibit discrimination in public accommodations, housing, employment, and insurance but also has many narrow non-discrimination laws that apply to a specific entity, or type of entity, even though a broad law also prohibits discrimination by that entity. This Act aligns the narrower non-discrimination laws with the applicable broad non-discrimination law by also prohibiting discrimination on any other basis protected under the applicable broad law. Adding the reference to the chapter for the applicable broad law includes all protected classes, definitions, and actions that are currently protected under the broad law or that are added to the broad law in the future. | Crossed Over |
| HB79 | An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Limitations On The Use Of Seclusion And Restraint. | This Act requires additional reporting and disclosure related to the use of mechanical restraint and seclusion in public schools. | Crossed Over |
| HB97 | An Act To Amend Titles 14 And 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Department Of Education, Professional Standards, And Salary Supplements. | This Act ensures that a public school employee may not work directly with students unsupervised without a valid permit or license issued by the DOEs Professional Standards Boards or an approved license issued under Title 24. To that end, this Act creates a new permit requirement for any paraprofessional or student support and classroom position, including specialist interns, year-long residents, full time substitute teachers, substitute teachers seeking certification, student teachers, and classroom aides. The following employees are exempt from the permitting and licensing requirements: non-instructional administrators; nutrition staff; custodial staff; transportation staff; clerical staff; charter school heads exempt under § 507(c) of Title 14; and substitute teachers seriving for less than 12 consecutive weeks in a school. | Crossed Over |
| HB132 | An Act To Amend Title 10, Title 11, And Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Elimination Of Certain Fees. | Delaware relies on fees imposed as surcharges by the criminal legal system to generate revenue for government services. These criminal fees can be an unstable revenue generator, especially when there are recessions, pandemics, or other major economic events. This Act repeals three fees that currently fund videophone systems used by state and local agencies, personnel, equipment, and training expenses related to judicial branch security, and victim notification initiatives. The elimination of these fees was recommended by the Criminal Legal System Imposed Debt Study Group created by House Bill 244, as amended by House Amendment No 2, of the 151st General Assembly, in its December 7, 2023 report. The Criminal Legal System Imposed Debt Study Group also recommended replacement of lost revenue for affected agencies as needed with General Funds. In repealing these fees, the General Assembly intends to eliminate any outstanding balances owed on these fees. | In Committee |
| HB152 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Criminal Impersonation. | This Act expands the criminal offense of impersonating a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician, paramedic, or fire officer to also prohibit impersonation of a federal officer. | In Committee |
| HB42 | An Act To Amend Title 11, Title 16, And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Human Trafficking Of Children. | This Act does all of the following regarding suspected human trafficking of children: | In Committee |
| HB129 | An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Appeals Of Court Decisions On Motions To Transfer. | Currently, if a childs criminal case is transferred by the Family Court to Superior Court, or if a child files an application in Superior Court to have their criminal case transferred to Family Court and the Superior Court denies the application, there is no recourse for appeal until the childs criminal case is finally adjudicated in Superior Court. In State v. Roberts, Del.Supr. 282 A.2nd 603 (1971) the Delaware Supreme Court stated its jurisdiction over such appeals by an accused, may only be by operation of law. This Act permits the child to enter a plea of guilty or nolo contendere and appeal an amenability denial to the Delaware Supreme Court within 30 days of being sentenced by the Superior Court. This Act also prohibits any plea being conditioned on waiving this right of appeal. This Act also clarifies that the Superior Court will not retain jurisdiction over the child if the Supreme Court reverses the Superior Courts Order. | Crossed Over |
| HB96 | An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Reports From The Department Of Justice To The Delaware General Assembly, Governor, And Office Of Legislative Services Regarding Undocumented Residents. | This Act requires the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust of the Department of Justice to submit a quarterly report to the General Assembly, Governor, and Office of Legislative Services detailing any request from a federal agency or entity for assistance from any State law enforcement agency related to any of the following: | In Committee |
| HB168 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Noncompliance With Sentencing. | This Act makes it a class G felony if a person breaches a no contact provision of the person's sentencing order, where the sentence was for 1 or more felonies. This Act also makes it a class A misdemeanor if a person breaches a no contact provision of the person's sentencing order, where the sentence was for 1 or more misdemeanors and no felonies. | In Committee |
| SB72 | An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Drinking Water Systems. | This Act requires the Division of Public Health (Division) to create a website where Delaware residents can find out the level of PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, in their public drinking water systems. This Act also requires the Division to notify public water utilities if the PFAS in their water exceeds certain limits, known as maximum containment levels, or MCLs. Water companies receiving this notice from the Division must then notify their customers that the PFAS levels in their water exceed the MCLs. | Crossed Over |
| HB58 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Detention And Arrests. | Under this Act a law-enforcement officer of this State is not allowed to do any of the following: | In Committee |
| HB37 | An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Accommodations. | The Delaware Equal Accommodations Law, Chapter 45 of Title 6, prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation on the basis of race, age, marital status, creed, religion, color, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. This Act ensures that all government services, including those provided directly by government entities and those that are government-funded or supervised, are subject to the same non-discrimination requirements as private businesses by revising the definition of place of public accommodation. This Act also creates a definition of person that is consistent with similar definitions in the Code. | In Committee |
| HB147 | An Act To Amend Title 12, Title 18, Title 25, And Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Uniform Real Property Transfer On Death Act. | Delaware currently permits the nonprobate transfer of bank accounts, investments, and vehicles. This Act provides a mechanism for the nonprobate transfer of real estate without requiring the creation of a revocable trust. This is done by permitting an owner of an interest in real estate to execute and record a transfer on death (TOD) deed designating a beneficiary who will automatically receive the real estate on the owner's death. During the owner's lifetime the beneficiary of a TOD deed has no interest in the real estate and the owner retains full power to transfer or encumber the real estate or to revoke the TOD deed. | In Committee |
| HB115 | An Act To Amend The Delaware Code Relating To The Prohibition Of Discrimination Based On Weight, Height, Or Body Size. | This Act prohibits discrimination based on weight, height, or body size in transportation, public accommodation, housing, commerce and trade, employment, jury selection, education, and public administration. | In Committee |
| SB63 | An Act To Amend Title 19 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Labor. | Chapter 35 of Title 19 prohibits an employer from improperly classifying an individual who is an employee as an independent contractor. Not only is this improper classification unfair to employees because it violates state and federal laws related to income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, wage laws, and workers compensation, it is also unfair to contractors who comply with Chapter 35 and these other employment laws. | Crossed Over |
| SB58 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Postconviction Remedy. | This Act provides a remedy for convicted persons relating to changes in forensic scientific or technical information. Specifically, a convicted person may apply to the Superior Court for relief if certain forensic scientific information was not available to be offered by the convicted person prior to the conviction or if it undermines forensic scientific evidence that was presented at trial. The court must grant relief if (1) the convicted person files an application asserting that the relevant forensic evidence is currently available and was not ascertainable through the exercise of reasonable diligence by the convicted person before or during trial or before the date of entry of a plea, and (2) the court determines that, had the evidence been presented at a trial, there is a reasonable likelihood that the result at trial would have been different or that the convicted person would not have been convicted. | Introduced |
| SB57 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Postconviction Remedy. | This Act updates Title 11 of the Delaware Code concerning postconviction remedies relating to DNA testing and evidence. | Introduced |
| HB65 | An Act To Amend Title 15 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Primary Elections. | This Act moves the date of primary elections for statewide office, county office, and municipal office to the fourth Tuesday in April, which is the date of the presidential primary (in presidential election years). The dates for submitting and withdrawing notification of candidacy have been adjusted accordingly, as have the dates for notice of filing fees and background checks. Section 4 changes the closed period in which a voter is not allowed to change his or her political affiliation to match the 60-day limit in 15 Del. C. § 3189 for presidential primaries. This Act is applicable to all primary elections after December 31, 2026. | Crossed Over |
| HB76 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Relating To Arrest By A Private Person. | This Act eliminates authorization for a warrantless arrest by a private person in the case of an individual accused in the courts of another state of a felony. | In Committee |
| HB105 | An Act To Amend Title 19 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Employment Practices. | Pay range transparency empowers job applicants with crucial information to negotiate salaries and make informed career decisions. It also encourages businesses to proactively review compensation practices, address unjustified pay disparities, and strengthen their ability to attract and retain top talent. | In Committee |
| SB94 | An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Respiratory Care Practitioners. | This Act updates the Respiratory Care Advisory Council to the Board of Medical Licensure and Disciplines enabling act to allow qualified licensed respiratory therapists to perform all duties associated with extracorporeal life support. Under the current law, respiratory therapists are authorized to assist with such support but may not administer medication during the process. As a result, a therapist is required to wait for another licensed professional to do so, resulting in delays to patient care. This bill eliminates this delay in patient care and allows qualified respiratory therapists to work within the full scope of their training. | Crossed Over |
| HCR50 | Honoring Delaware Mothers Who Have Lost A Child As A Result Of Gun Violence. | This Resolution honors all mothers in Delaware who have lost a child as a result of gun violence. This Resolution also encourages public awareness of the lasting impact that gun violence has on our communities and residents in Delaware. | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |

| HB27 | An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Anti-trafficking Action Council. | This Act makes changes to the operating requirements for the Delaware Anti-Trafficking Action Council. | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |
| HB85 | An Act To Amend Title 14 And Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Board Members. | Under current law, both school board members who are elected and those who are appointed to fill vacancies until the next election are required to complete a background check. However, the statute is currently unclear as to how a background check gets done and who is responsible for reviewing the background check for an appointment. This Act makes clear that a person may not be appointed unless a background check has been completed and the Commissioner of Elections has determined the person is qualified for the seat, in the same manner the Commissioner completes that duty for candidates for school board elections. | Crossed Over |
| HB64 | An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Board Meetings. | This Act requires that school board meetings have a means for the public to view and provide comment remotely. | Crossed Over |

| HB135 | An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Homelessness. | Because Delaware lacks an adequate amount of emergency shelter beds, housing support services, and affordable housing units, only 952 out of 7,131 households that contacted the Housing Alliance Delawares homelessness hotline in 2024 were referred to housing assistance. Without adequate shelter available, thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness are forced to seek shelter on the streets, parks, parking lots, and sidewalks, which puts them in constant conflict with local residents, businesses, and the police. Instead of providing adequate housing, local governments are using emergency services, hospital services, and the criminal justice system to remove unhoused individuals from public spaces, exacerbating the barriers unhoused individuals face to achieve stable housing and wasting taxpayer money. This Act seeks to incentivize localities to coordinate or create adequate emergency housing, permanent housing, and wrap-around services for individuals experiencing homelessness, which will ease the financial burden placed on emergency services, hospitals, and the criminal justice system, while providing unhoused individuals stability and dignity. | In Committee |
| HB141 | An Act To Amend Titles 11 And 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Firearms. | This Act directs the Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS) to develop a Firearm Responsibilities Notice for distribution to gun purchasers to ensure dissemination of important information relating to safe and lawful handling of firearms. It mandates that licensed importers, manufacturers, and dealers cannot sell, transfer, or deliver a firearm to another person without requiring the buyer to review and sign a Firearm Responsibilities Notice. Licensed dealers that provide background checks to facilitate a sale between unlicensed persons are also responsible for providing a copy of the Firearm Responsibilities Notice to the prospective buyer and retaining a copy of the Firearm Responsibilities Notice signed by the prospective buyer. The purpose of the Firearm Responsibilities Notice is to deter straw purchases and other illegal transfer of firearms, to ensure awareness of Delawares gun safety laws, and to increase the reporting of lost or stolen firearms. The Firearm Responsibilities Notice is also intended to prevent accidental shootings by providing information on gun safety and available gun safety courses.

| HB63 | An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fireworks. | Delaware's current fireworks laws have led to confusion among consumers and noncompliance, with individuals frequently using fireworks outside of legally permitted days.

Additionally, out-of-state retailers advertise illegal fireworks in Delaware without consequence, further misleading consumers.
