SS 1 for SB 168CommitteeWalshSenate Substitute 1 for SB 168 allows for the delivery of alcoholic liquors from any entity with a valid off-premise license. In addition, this substitute provides that acts of a licensed consumer delivery permittee or a delivery driver are not attributable to the retailer. This substitute bill differs from SB 168 in that it clarifies that § 516 of Title 4 applies to package stores, restaurants, and clubs, and not to hotels, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, tobacco retailers, or cigar stores. This substitute bill also separates a subsection into two parts, addressing curbside sales and deliveries, for purposes of clarity. In addition, this substitute bill provides that a third-party delivery vendor may charge package stores no more than a single, flat rate that is applicable to all package stores that enter into a delivery contract with the third-party delivery vendor—that is, the third-party vendor may not charge a different rate to different stores, or a different rate for different deliveries from the same store. Finally, this substitute bill provides that it takes effect 6 months after its enactment.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

The Act also removes responsibilities associated with recycling grants and low interest loans, which are no longer available. The Act adds a new provision to facilitate stakeholder engagement with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, while removing the establishment and associated responsibilities of the Recycling Public Advisory Council. Section 7 of the Act removes specific civil and administrative penalties, allowing the Department to utilize enforcement authority already established in Chapter 60, Section 6005 and details the responsibilities of the Department and the Authority to provide an annual report to the Governor and General Assembly regarding the status of recycling activities in the state. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

HS 1 for HB 370 w/ HA 1PassedHarrisThis Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 370. This Act differs from HB 370 in that it adds a provision for the selection of the DEFAC Co-Chair, authorizes designees for the ex officio members, clarifies a provision relating to DEFAC meetings proceedings, and makes several technical corrections. This Act also differs from HB 370 by making the effective date July 1, 2026, or upon enactment, whichever is later. Like HB 370, this Act codifies the Delaware Economic & Financial Advisory Council (“DEFAC”) which was initially created by Executive Order No. 5 in March 3, 1977, and has continued through several executive orders issued since 1977. This Act is known and may be cited as the “DuPont-Cook Financial Responsibility Act.” The purpose of this Act is to preserve DEFAC’s structure under executive order while strengthening continuity, transparency, and clarity. DEFAC consists of at least 25, but no more than 34, members. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate Pro Tempore each appoint 2 members, 1 from each caucus. The Governor appoints the remaining members, from the public and private sectors, and must appoint at least 12 members. The following serve by virtue of their positions: the Controller General, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Secretary of Finance, Secretary of State, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of the Department of Health and Social Services, Joint Finance Committee Co-Chairs, and State Treasurer.

SS 1 for SB 234Out of CommitteePettyjohnThis Act creates a definition of “first responder” in Chapter 31 of Title 20, pertaining to emergency management. Currently, the term is referenced, but it is not actually defined, creating potential uncertainty about who qualifies as a first responder in this context. This Act defines a first responder as a federal, state, or local law enforcement officer, firefighter, emergency medical services personnel member, hazardous materials response team member, 911 dispatcher, emergency manager, or other individual who is responsible for the protection and preservation of life or property and who is called on to respond to emergencies. This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 234 and differs from Senate Bill No. 234 in that it adds a definition of “law enforcement officer” to clarify which law enforcement personnel are included in the definition of “first responder” and makes minor technical corrections to the definition of “first responder”.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 20 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO FIRST RESPONDERS.

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SAFETY FEATURES IN NEW SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION OR MAJOR RENOVATIONS.
SB 266CommitteeCruceThis Act safeguards elections in this State by strengthening fairness and impartiality in both the conduct of elections and the enforcement of election laws. Election protections are strengthened because this Act updates Title 15 so that the terms and procedures reflect modern vocabulary, technology, and best practices. Most of the revisions in this Act are technical, clarifications, or conform existing law to current practices in regard to determining an individual’s place of residence, requirements for electronic voting system software, performing audits of election results, and adjudicating or curing deficient absentee ballots. Section 1 revises the terms and definitions for Title 15 as follows: • Repeals obsolete terms. • Revises current terms and definitions to accurately reflect the organization of the Department of Elections (Department), the use of electronic voting systems, and conform to drafting standards. • Adds additional defined terms that are already used in Title 15, to provide consistency and clarity in this State’s election laws. Section 1 also codifies how the Department determines residency for purposes of registering to vote and to be a candidate for office in a new § 103 of Title 15. This new section provides that an individual’s place of residence is fixed and is a place that the individual physically inhabits and requires that residence be broadly construed to provide all eligible voters with the opportunity to participate in the democratic process. This section specifically provides for all the following: • An individual’s place of residence when the individual’s sleeping area or place of habitation is not a traditional residence associated with real property. • An individual does not lose their place of residence if the individual intends to return after an absence, such as for education, military service, incarceration, or obtaining or providing medical care. • If an individual maintains possession of the individual’s place of residence, obtaining a secondary residence is not prima facia evidence of a change in residence. • An individual’s residence changes and the individual forms a new residence if the individual inhabits a new location with the intent to remain there indefinitely, registers to vote based on residence at a new location, or votes based on residence at a new location. • How a dispute regarding an individual’s place of residence is determined and appealed. Section 2 updates the requirements for electronic voting systems to incorporate best practices and increase the clarity of these requirements. The increased clarity provides transparency regarding both the Department’s compliance with these requirements and the accuracy of election results. The current requirements were enacted in 2019 (82 Del. Laws, c. 170) to provide a framework to use when the current electronic voting devices were first acquired. These voting devices have now been used in several election cycles so the requirements can be updated to reflect that experience and the ongoing improvements to voting technology. Specifically, these updates: • Transfers Chapter 50A of Title 15 to Chapter 50 of Title 15. • Provide for the designation of the software, which includes the version of that software, that must be installed on voting devices before each statewide general election. • Expands the criteria that must be considered when designating the software that must be used on voting devices, including the experiences of other jurisdictions that have already used the software. The expanded criteria also provides certainty and stability instead of relying on the continued existence of a federal certifying entity. • Requires that no later than July 1 of an odd numbered calendar year, the State Election Commissioner (Commissioner) must designate the software required for the next statewide general election and that this software can be used for elections held during the next 2 years. • Explicitly allows the Commissioner to change the designated version of voting device software if necessary to address a material security flaw in the previously designated software. • Transfers the requirements under § 4508 of Title 15 to § 5010(a)(1)b. of Title 15. • Consolidates notice requirements under § 5010 of Title 15 for when voting devices will be tested and repeals language about party designees that is obsolete because this testing is open to the public. • Revises current law that is confusing or imprecise, including dividing the current audit section into 4 sections. The first audit section, § 5014, provides the audit requirements that are applicable to all audits of elections results (audits). The following 3 sections provide the requirements for audits after elections for specific offices: § 5015 applies to state or county offices, § 5016 applies to City of Wilmington offices, and § 5017 applies to school district elections. • Repeals provisions that unnecessarily repeat requirements in other sections. Section 3 updates § 4972(b) of Title 15 to align with the use of modern scanning devices, to reflect that absentee ballots are the only hand-marked paper ballots that are used in all elections, and to use the updated defined terms in Section 1 of this Act. Section 3 also codifies the current procedure used to adjudicate votes on an absentee ballot if the ballot scanning device is unable to determine the voter’s intent and connects the rules under § 4972(b) with the procedures for tabulating absentee ballots under § 5510 of Title 15. Section 4 revises Chapter 55 of Title 15 to codify the procedures the Department currently follows under Regulation 200 of Title 15 of the Delaware Administrative Code when an absentee ballot is deficient. This procedure requires that the Department indicate on the ballot envelope that the ballot is deficient and to offer the voter an opportunity to cure certain deficiencies before the polls close on the day of the election, allowing the ballot to be counted. Section 4 also revises § 5510(d)(1)b. by adding a reference to the rules for adjudicating absentee ballots under § 4972(b) of Title 15. Sections 5 through 9 of this Act make corresponding changes to other sections in Title 15 to align with the revisions made under Sections 1 and 2 of this Act and modern election practices. Specifically, Section 5 makes corresponding changes to the defined terms regarding candidate residency in § 3114 of Title 15 to align with the revisions under Section 1 of this Act. Section 6 repeals the sentence in § 4508 of Title 15 because it is transferred to § 5010(a)(1)b. of Title 15. Section 7 aligns the language regarding an individual voter’s place of residence in § 4941 of Title 15 with the revisions under Section 1 of this Act. Section 8 revises § 4948 of Title 15, regarding provisional ballots, as follows: • Makes corresponding changes to the defined terms to align with the revisions in Section 1 of this Act. • Makes technical changes to be consistent with existing law, such as clarifying where a different procedure is followed for primary elections and repealing confusing language. • Repeals the requirement that provisional ballots are required when a court orders a polling place to be kept open beyond the normal time for closing so that people voting under that court order can vote for all offices on the ballot. Section 9 revises § 4980 of Title 15 to reference the transferred and revised audit requirements in Chapter 50 of Title 15. Finally, all Sections of this Act include technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ELECTIONS.

The Act allows a confirmed elevated blood lead level to be established either through a venous blood lead test or through two capillary blood lead screenings collected within 12 weeks of each other, provided that the applicable lead reference value is met or exceeded. Two positive capillary blood lead screenings yield an effective specificity of approximately 99.75% when properly collected. This change is consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance case definition, reduces barriers to case identification and management, and requires conforming regulatory updates.
