HB 195 w/ SA 1SignedK. WilliamsThis Act changes the age at which a person can bartend from 21 years old to 18 years old, and requires that a bartender who is 18, 19, or 20 years old be directly supervised by a person who is 21 years of age or older and who is working behind the bar with the 18-, 19-, or 20-year-old. This Act also increases the frequency of statutorily mandated alcoholic beverage server training from every 4 years to every 2 years. To ensure that 18–20-year-olds are protected from sexually oriented content by virtue of being permitted to bartend, this Act prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from entering into or working in any capacity in a tavern or taproom that offers sexually oriented entertainment. This includes taverns and taprooms that are licensed as adult entertainment establishments under Chapter 16 of Title 24, taverns and taprooms that offer sexually explicit performances as defined in § 787 of Title 11, and tavern and taprooms that are advertised as “strip clubs,” “adult entertainment clubs,” “gentlemen’s clubs,” or that offer performances or services of a sexually oriented nature. Currently, Delaware is in the minority of states when it comes to requiring bartenders to be 21 years old. By reducing the legal bartending age to 18, this Act will help Delaware’s food service industry remain competitive with the many other states, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, in which 18–20-year-olds can bartend. AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO BARTENDING.
SB 198SignedPooreThis Act amends the Delaware Equal Accommodations Law to adopt the protections of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973’s Section 504 (“Section 504”), and its implementing regulations as those regulations existed on January 1, 2025. This bill will help ensure that Delawareans with disabilities get broad and full protection within Delaware. The bill also adds that references to Section 504 in other parts of Delaware law or regulation will be considered a reference to the Delaware Equal Accommodations Law.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS
HB 262SignedHeffernanThis Act clarifies that paid leave for the adoption of a child may begin at one of the following times: (1) when the child is placed for adoption with the employee; (2) when the employee initiates a petition for adoption; or (3) when the adoption process is completed. AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PAID LEAVE.
SB 216 w/ SA 1SignedBucksonThis Act adopts the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (“Compact”). This Compact takes effect on the date on which this Compact is enacted into law in 7 states. As of January 2026, this Compact has been enacted in 5 states and has been filed in 6 other states. This Compact is an interstate occupational licensure compact for respiratory therapists. There are approximately 130,000 licensed respiratory therapists in the United States. Licensees currently face significant barriers providing services across state borders, even when they meet the qualifications to practice in another state. This Compact will facilitate multistate practice by reducing unnecessary licensure burdens and improve public safety by enhancing state information sharing.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO A RESPIRATORY CARE INTERSTATE COMPACT.
SB 217SignedBucksonThis Act adopts the Cosmetology Licensure Compact (“Compact”). The Compact is active because enough states have enacted legislation to adopt the Compact. The purpose of the Compact is to reduce the burdens on state governments and to facilitate and regulate the interstate practice of cosmetology by creating a framework for a multistate licensing program. The multistate licensing program provides increased value and mobility to licensed cosmetologists, including military members and their spouses, and ensures safe, competent, and reliable cosmetology services are provided to the public. The Compact allows individuals residing in a state that joins the Compact (a “member state”) to apply, through the state, for a multistate license. A multistate license allows a qualifying licensee to practice cosmetology in all member states. Applicants for a multistate license must hold an unrestricted license to practice cosmetology in the applicant’s home state and must meet educational, national licensing examination, and background check requirements to qualify for a multistate license. Licensees must meet continuing competency requirements to qualify for renewal of a multistate license. Member states share information related to disciplinary actions against licensees, investigations of licensees, and anything that would disqualify a licensee from holding a multistate license so that each member state is aware if a licensee’s authority to practice is restricted or if the licensee is disqualified from practicing cosmetology.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE COSMETOLOGY LICENSURE COMPACT.
HB 278 w/ HA 1, HA 2SignedSpiegelmanThis Act makes multiple changes to Title 7 of the Delaware Code. First it increases recreational hunting opportunities and clarifies that Sunday hunting is permitted for all game animals and game birds that the Department has established hunting seasons for, while allowing private landowners and public agencies discretion when and where Sunday hunting is permitted without being overly burdensome. This Act amends and simplifies the caliber of handgun ammunition permitted for deer hunting as well as updates the use of other hunting implements consistent with new and improved technology. This Act removes European and snowshoe hares as game animals and includes skunks and weasels as such.

SB 239SignedHansenThis Act removes the 8% cap on net energy metering for customer-generation.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 26 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES AND NET METERING.
HB 311SignedK. WilliamsThis Act establishes the Rights and Responsibilities Guide for Landlords and Tenants Committee (“Committee”) within the Delaware Real Estate Commission (“Commission”). The Commission is tasked with drafting, maintaining, and distributing a comprehensive, statewide rights & responsibilities guide (“guide”) for landlords and tenants with support from the Committee. This guide will reference responsibilities that a tenant or landlord must follow, including federal, state, county, and municipal requirements. This Act also requires a landlord or real estate service provider to provide the guide to prospective tenants entering a landlord-tenant relationship governed under Part III of Title 25. The guide must also be provided at each time a rental agreement is renewed if the renewal is for a term of 1 or more years. The guide may be provided in electronic or paper format. The guide is deemed a statutorily required form under 24 Del. C. § 2912. Real estate service providers may be subject to discipline for misrepresenting the availability or content of the required form. Additionally, failure to provide the guide when required is deemed an unlawful practice under § 2513 of Title 6 and a violation of Subchapter II of Chapter 25 of Title 6. Section 4 of this Act requires the Commission to provide a report to the General Assembly with findings about what disclosures or documents are required to be made to tenants independent of the guide and whether the Commission recommends other law be changed to incorporate those disclosures and documents into the guide. This Act is effective upon enactment into law and, except for the penalty provisions, is to be implemented the earlier of the following: (1) One year from the date of the Act’s enactment. (2) Notice by the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation published in the Register of Regulations that both of the following have occurred: a. The report required under Section 4 of this Act has been provided to the General Assembly. b. The guide this Act creates has been published by the Delaware Real Estate Commission. Penalty provisions are to be implemented 180 days after the remainder of the Act is implemented. If this Act is implemented before the report under Section 4 of this Act is provided to the General Assembly, the report must be provided to the General Assembly within 180 days after the Act is implemented.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 AND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO A RESIDENTIAL LANDLORD TENANT GUIDE.
SB 248SignedPooreThis Act makes updates to the Delaware workplace safety program to increase the workers’ compensation insurance credit that businesses can access while maintaining overall program stability. Past legislation that adjusted Workplace Safety Program parameters led to the filing of a new Experience Rating Plan by Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau, which inadvertently resulted in lower discounts. Most businesses with lower-than-average claim costs, regardless of size, continue to see reductions in their experience modification factors. The Workplace Safety Program credit and the experience modification factor savings result in a similar savings as before for employers with favorable loss history. However, this was not the intention of prior law. This Act ensures that companies can reach maximum premium savings of 12%.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 19 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO WORKPLACE SAFETY PROGRAM.
SJR 13SignedPettyjohnThis Senate Joint Resolution recognizes that missed court appearances create costs for the justice system and negative consequences for individuals, and that reminder notifications can reduce failure-to-appear rates. It directs the Delaware Judiciary to report on the cost, timeline, and requirements to build a court date reminder program for the Justice of the Peace Court and to expand it to the Court of Common Pleas, Family Court, and Superior Court and provides that DELJIS shall build the program if funding is appropriated.DIRECTING THE DELAWARE JUDICIARY TO ESTABLISH A PILOT COURT DATE REMINDER PROGRAM AND TO STUDY AND REPORT ON THE FEASIBILITY OF EXPANDING THE PROGRAM STATEWIDE.
SB 267SignedBrownWith only minor modifications consistent with Delaware law and practice, this Act adopts the Uniform Assignment for Benefit of Creditors Act (the “Uniform Act”), authored by the Uniform Law Commission. The Uniform Law Commission “provides states with non-partisan, well-conceived and well-drafted legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law.” The Uniform Act was approved by the Uniform Law Commission in October 2025 and, as of March 2026, has been enacted in Nebraska and Utah and introduced in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, and Oklahoma. Because this Act adopts the Uniform Act with only minor modifications, the “Comments” to the Uniform Act may be deemed to be persuasive authority in interpreting this Act; provided, however, that the second and third sentences of the Comment to Section 2 of the Uniform Act shall instead be deemed to read as follows: “If an asset is not assignable by its terms or under other law, that asset is not part of the assignment estate unless either any required consent is obtained or other law overrides the anti-assignment provision. This Uniform Act does not preclude the assignee from negotiating with any person whose consent is required for an assignment to obtain its consent for the assignment of an asset.” This Act provides for the use of an assignment for benefit of creditors (an “ABC”), which is an efficient and flexible state law mechanism to wind up a distressed business. Although the use of an ABC to liquidate the assets of a failing business is rooted in the common law, the various states have significant differences in their statutes or common law of ABCs and Delaware’s statute has few details, was enacted many decades ago, and has not subsequently been revised. This inconsistency and lack of detail leads to significant variance throughout the country in the utility of ABCs and the frequency with which ABCs are used. This Act addresses this gap in the law by cementing the common law in statute and providing updates that modernize the law and provide clarity to assignors, assignees, and creditors alike. In an ABC, a financially distressed business, called an “assignor,” transfers control of all of its assets to an “assignee,” who acts as a fiduciary for the business’s creditors. The assignee liquidates the business’s assets and distributes the proceeds to the business’s creditors. These proceeds go towards payment of the creditors’ claims against the assignor. This Act creates a state law alternative to other procedures available to the assignor for winding up its business and provides benefits that are not available through a federal bankruptcy case or a state or federal law receivership. In many cases, an ABC will be more flexible, quicker, and less costly than the other alternatives. An ABC may be an improvement on these alternatives in certain situations in significant ways: (1) it is debtor-initiated; (2) it provides assurances to creditors by imposing fiduciary duties upon the assignee; (3) it aims to maximize the value of the business’s assets for the benefit of all creditors; and (4) it encourages cooperation between the distressed business and the creditors by aligning these parties’ goals. This Act’s roadmap for ABCs clearly establishes: (1) The persons eligible to be assignors and the qualifications for assignees; (2) The relationship between an ABC under this Act and existing federal and state statutes, including the Bankruptcy Code; (3) The contents of the assignment agreement; (4) The effect of an ABC on the assignor’s property interests and the procedure for conveying those assets to the assignee; (5) Procedures for notifying creditors of the ABC and the implications of the opt-out decision; (6) Duties and powers of the assignor and assignee, including limitations on liability; (7) A process for allowing and disputing claims; (8) A waterfall for the distribution of proceeds to secured and unsecured creditors and payment of expenses incurred by the assignee; (9) Procedures for winding up the assignment estate; (10) The extent of recognition of out-of-state transactions and appointment of an ancillary assignee for administration of out-of-state assets; and (11) That a conveyance by an assignor or assignee for the benefit of the assignor’s creditors under this Act is not subject to this State’s realty transfer tax. This Act is intended to replace Delaware’s current ABC law, resulting in the repeal of the current law under Sections 2 through 8 of this Act and provision, under Section 9 of this Act, for the continued application of the current law for existing ABCs made before the effective date of this Act. AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 AND TITLE 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE UNIFORM ASSIGNMENT FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS ACT.
HB 333SignedMorrisonThis Act changes the probate dollar limit for administering a small estate without requiring Letters of Administration or Letters of Testamentary from $30,000 to $50,000.

SB 276SignedHansenThis Act amends Delaware law to provide that electric cooperatives are not required to provide electric supply service to large load electric users with a projected monthly demand of more than 50MW. Electric cooperatives remain obligated to provide supply service to all customers in its service territory using less than 50MW.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 26 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ELECTRIC UTILITIES.
HB 352SignedGriffithThis Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”) to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of proposed amendments to the LLC Act. Section 1 of this Act amends § 18-101(2) of the LLC Act to add a definition of “certificate of registered series,” which is used in multiple provisions in the LLC Act. Section 2 of this Act amends § 18-215(a) of the LLC Act to confirm that (i) a limited liability company agreement may establish or provide for the establishment of one or more series that are not protected series or registered series, and (ii) the limitation on merger, conversion and consolidation of a series in § 18-215(a) does not restrict a limited liability company with series from merging, converting or consolidating pursuant to any section of the LLC Act or as otherwise permitted by law. The amendments are not intended to limit the application of the principle of freedom of contract to any series. Section 3 of this Act provides that the amendments to the LLC Act take effect on August 1, 2026.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY ACT.
HB 353 w/ HA 1SignedGriffithThis Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to keep it current and maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments to the DGCL. Section 1. Section 1 of this Act confirms that if a certificate of incorporation includes a provision that “opts out” of the class vote specified in § 242(b)(2) of Title 8 to increase or decrease the number of shares of a class of stock authorized for issuance, including a provision that requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock (or a majority of the votes of such stock) entitled to vote, that “opt out” will not be deemed an express provision that has the effect of “opting out” of the default provisions of § 242(d). Instead, § 242(d) will apply unless the § 242(b)(2) “opt out” expressly states that the corporation is not governed by § 242(d)(1) or (2), or the § 242(b)(2) “opt out” provision specifies a greater or additional vote to increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of 1 or more classes of stock. Section 2. Section 2 of this Act amends § 275 of Title 8, which addresses the dissolution of a corporation. New § 275(h) provides that the authority and responsibilities of the registered agent of the corporation terminate at the time the dissolution of the corporation becomes effective, except with respect to service of process that the registered agent has received before that time. New § 275(i) establishes procedures for the Secretary of State to accept service of process for a dissolved corporation after the dissolution has become effective. The amendments to § 275(d) and (f) require a corporation to include in its certificate of dissolution an agreement that the dissolved corporation may be served with process in the State by service to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Secretary of State’s rules and regulations. Section 3. Section 3 of this Act amends § 312(j) of Title 8, which addresses the revival of the certificate of incorporation of a nonstock corporation if the certificate has become forfeited or void. The amendments delete reference to actions taken by members of a nonstock corporation who are entitled to vote on a dissolution of the corporation. The provisions of § 312(j), when read together with § 312(h), contemplates member action only to elect persons to the governing body of the corporation if there are no such persons then in office to revive the corporation. Because no action by members entitled to vote on a dissolution is required for revival, the reference to these members is being deleted. In addition, because no member action is required to revive a corporation if there are persons then serving on the governing body of the corporation, amended § 312(h) also clarifies that member action will be taken for a revival only “if any” member action is necessary. Section 4. Section 4 of this Act provides that this Act takes effect on August 1, 2026. 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 the general corporation law. AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 8 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW.
HB 354SignedGriffithThis Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “LP Act”) to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of proposed amendments to the LP Act. Section 1 of this Act amends § 17-101(1) of the LP Act to add a definition of “certificate of registered series,” which is used in multiple provisions in the LP Act. Section 2 of this Act amends § 17-202 of the LP Act to allow a limited amendment of a certificate of limited partnership to be made by a person who has ceased to be a general partner of the limited partnership but is shown on the certificate of limited partnership as a general partner. The certificate of amendment shall state only (i) the name of the limited partnership, and (ii) that the person has ceased to be a general partner of the limited partnership. Because the amendment has the effect of amending the information required to be set forth in a certificate of limited partnership by § 17-201(a)(3) of the LP Act, it also constitutes notice, pursuant to § 17-208 of the LP Act, that the person has ceased to be a general partner. This Section also amends § 17-202(c)(2) of the LP Act to clarify that, unless a certificate of amendment has already been filed pursuant to new § 17-202(d) of the LP Act, § 17-202(c)(2) applies any time a person has ceased to be a general partner of a limited partnership and not just upon a withdrawal of a general partner. Section 3 of this Act amends § 17-204(a)(2) of the LP Act, which addresses execution of certificates of amendment and certificates of correction. Because Section 2 of this Act amends § 17-202 of the LP Act to allow a former general partner to file a certificate of amendment of a certificate of limited partnership in certain circumstances, this Section amends § 17-204(a)(2) of the LP Act to clarify that the former general partner must execute a certificate of amendment authorized by new § 17-202(d) of the LP Act or any certificate of correction that is correcting a certificate of amendment filed pursuant to new § 17-202(d) of the LP Act. This Section also amends § 17-204(a)(9) of the LP Act, which addresses execution of certificates of amendment of certificates of registered series and certificates of correction of certificates of registered series. Because Section 6 of this Act amends § 17-221 of the LP Act to allow a person who was formerly a general partner associated with a registered series to file a certificate of amendment of a certificate of registered series in certain circumstances, this Section amends § 17-204(a)(9) of the LP Act to clarify that the former general partner must execute a certificate of amendment authorized by new § 17-221(d)(6) of the LP Act or any certificate of correction that is correcting a certificate of amendment filed pursuant to new § 17-221(d)(6) of the LP Act. Section 4 of this Act amends § 17-207 of the LP Act, which addresses liability for materially false statements in any certificate authorized to be filed by this chapter. Subchapter IX of the LP Act was previously amended to clarify that certain documents filed in the office of the Secretary of State with respect to a foreign limited partnership may be executed by any person authorized to execute the document on behalf of the foreign limited partnership (which may or may not be a general partner of the foreign limited partnership). This Section amends § 17-207 of the LP Act to clarify that § 17-207 of the LP Act applies to any person who executed a certificate pursuant to subchapter IX of this chapter (whether or not such person is a general partner of the foreign limited partnership). Section 5 of this Act amends § 17-218(a) of the LP Act to confirm that (i) a partnership agreement may establish or provide for the establishment of one or more series that are not protected series or registered series, and (ii) the limitation on merger, conversion and consolidation of a series in § 17-218(a) does not restrict a limited partnership with series from merging, converting or consolidating pursuant to any section of the LP Act or as otherwise permitted by law. The amendments are not intended to limit the application of the principle of freedom of contract to any series. Section 6 of this Act amends § 17-221(d) of the LP Act to allow a limited amendment of a certificate of registered series to be made by a person who has ceased to be a general partner associated with the registered series but is shown on the certificate of registered series as a general partner associated with the registered series. The certificate of amendment shall state only (i) the name of the limited partnership, (ii) the name of the registered series, and (iii) that the person has ceased to be a general partner associated with the registered series. Because the amendment has the effect of amending the information required to be set forth in a certificate of registered series by § 17-221(d) of the LP Act, it also constitutes notice, pursuant to § 17-208 of the LP Act, that the person has ceased to be a general partner associated with the registered series. This Section also amends § 17-221(d)(5)b. of the LP Act to clarify that, unless a certificate of amendment has already been filed pursuant to new § 17-221(d)(6) of the LP Act, § 17-221(d)(5)b. applies any time a person has ceased to be a general partner associated with a registered series and not just upon a withdrawal of a general partner associated with a registered series. This Section also makes certain clarifying amendments of § 17-221 of the LP Act to change the word “of” to the words “associated with”. Section 7 of this Act amends § 17-902(1) of the LP Act to provide that the statement required to be included in an application for registration as a foreign limited partnership shall be made by the person who signs the application (whether or not such person is a general partner of the foreign limited partnership). Section 8 of this Act provides that the amendments to the LP Act take effect on August 1, 2026.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE REVISED UNIFORM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ACT.

HA 1 to HS 1 for HB 329PassedCollinsThis amendment changes the effective date to the date when the Governor in office at the time this Act is enacted, for any reason, is no longer Governor. 
HS 1 for HB 404CommitteeHilovskyAn increasing number of schools and workplaces are investing in implementing artificial intelligence (AI) technology and extended reality (XR) technology, including virtual reality and augmented reality, to effectively teach children and train employees. In schools, AI and XR technologies help provide immersive and personalized learning experiences that enhance student engagement, proficiency, and mastery in core subjects. Recent studies and surveys show that using AI and XR technologies in schools leads to better student outcomes, including improved academic performance, higher test scores, and increased motivation. And AI technology, like Khanmigo, supports educators by reducing administrative burdens and allowing educators to focus on student needs. This helps prevent burnout and reduce turnover rates. Therefore, investing in implementing these technologies in Delaware public schools will support Delaware’s educational priorities, including increasing literacy, STEM proficiency, and career readiness. This Act establishes a 3-year pilot program, called the Artificial Intelligence and Extended Reality in Schools Pilot Program (Program), to invest in using AI and XR technologies to improve education in Delaware schools. The Program is administered by the Delaware Department of Education (DOE). The DOE shall provide funding and offer technical support for participating schools to procure and safely implement AI and XR products that improve student outcomes and engagement, support educators in meeting student needs, and reduce workloads and administrative burdens on educators. Within 180 days following the date of this Act’s enactment into law, the DOE must do all of the following: 1. Invite up to 12 schools to participate in the program. The schools selected must include 1 elementary school from each of the counties and from the City of Wilmington, 1 middle school from each of the counties and from the City of Wilmington, and 1 high school from each of the counties and from the City of Wilmington. 2. Form a committee to study best practices in other states and countries for using AI and XR technologies in schools and review and recommend AI and XR products that best meet the needs of Delaware students and educators. The products recommended must safeguard data and follow state and federal guidelines for privacy and security. 3. In collaboration with the Department of Technology & Information and the Delaware Department of Justice, finalize contracts to procure the recommended AI and XR products. Additionally, the DOE may consult with technology privacy and safety experts to make sure that the contracts meet privacy and safety requirements. Schools participating in the Program shall provide data that DOE and participating local education agencies consider necessary to help assess the Program’s effectiveness. The data may include certain quantitative, qualitative, and personalized metrics. The DOE shall prepare a final report that includes the data provided by the schools, the DOE’s analysis of the data, the DOE’s recommendations for improving the Program, and the DOE’s recommendation on whether the Program should be expanded or adjusted. The DOE shall submit the final report to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Director and Librarian of the Division of Legislative Services prior to the meeting of the Delaware Legislative Oversight Committee. This Act expires 3 years after the end of the 2026-2027 school year, unless extended by a subsequent action of the General Assembly.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EXTENDED REALITY IN SCHOOLS PILOT PROGRAM.
HB 399CommitteeGriffithThis Act requires that all 3D printers sold or delivered in the State be equipped with blocking technology that prevents 3D printers from being used to create firearms or firearm parts. All 3D printer manufacturers must submit to the Attorney General a sworn attestation that they have equipped a make and model with blocking technology in order for sales and deliveries of the make and model to be lawful in the State. Before the ban goes into effect, this Act directs the Attorney General to create a working group that will recommend the minimum safety standards a 3D printer’s blocking technology must meet in order to comply with the requirements of this Act. The working group must also determine the feasibility of requiring 3D printers include blocking technology. If the working group determines the requirement is feasible, the Attorney General is authorized to do the following: (1) Promulgate rules and regulations establishing performance standards for 3D printing blocking technology. (2) Facilitate the creation of a library that securely holds 3D files that are banned under this Act to be used in the creation of blocking technology. The prohibition on the selling or delivery of any 3D printer not equipped with blocking technology is effective 6 months after notice by the Attorney General is published in the Register of Regulations that final regulations to implement this Act have been adopted.

It also changes the effective date of the Act to January 1 after its enactment into law. House Substitute 2 for HB 155 does all of the same, as well as adds a requirement that public officers annually report in their financial disclosure report to the Public Integrity Commission, which will be published by the Commission, any travel expenses which include transportation, lodging, entertainment, food and beverage, which in aggregate total in excess of $250, paid for by any third party, not including the State.

HS 1 for HB 390Out of CommitteeMorrisonThis House Substitute for House Bill No. 390 clarifies that the agencies may, in their discretion, determine the methodology to be used for bid submission, including limiting bidding to solely electronic submissions. This Act allows for electronic bidding to be conducted through a platform of the agency’s choice. Where electronic bidding is identified as the sole manner of bidding, the agency is not required to provide an anchor location for public attendance at the bid opening. The agency is then required to provide the results of the bidding in real time via an electronic remote hosting platform of the agency’s choosing. The agency must post the results of the solicitation to their website within 2 business days. Additionally, this Act clarifies that a newspaper advertisement is not required if advertisement is submitted to the electronic procurement advertising system defined in § 6902(12) of this title. Finally, this Act clarifies that the agency and awarded bidder may mutually consent to extend the time limit for a contract award. This House Substitute differs from the original bill by adding that the agency must accept paper submissions when the solicitation or request for proposal is under $500,000 but more than the amount specified by the Office of Management and Budget in their annual guidance. It includes that the centralized computer system administered by the Section of Government Support Services will serve as the State's system of record. This substitute also makes technical corrections to conform with the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF BIDS AND BID OPENINGS FOR ELECTRONIC BIDDING.

SS 1 for SB 212CommitteeWilsonThis Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 212. Like Senate Bill No. 212, this Act is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to establish the right to hunt, fish, and trap wildlife in Delaware. Twenty-four other states have preserved the right to hunt, fish, and trap wildlife. This Act is modeled after the constitutional provisions of Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Vermont. This Act specifically acknowledges Delaware’s valued, natural heritage of hunting, fishing, and trapping, and declares hunting, fishing, and trapping as the preferred methods of managing and controlling wildlife in this State. This Act declares that it may not be applied to do any of the following: (1) Limit the application of a law relating to trespass or property rights. (2) Affect rights to divert, appropriate, or use water, or to establish a minimum amount of water in any water body. (3) Lead to a diminution or abrogation of a public or private right or of the State’s power to regulate commercial activities. (4) Prevent the suspension or revocation, under a law enacted by the General Assembly, of an individual’s hunting, fishing, or trapping license. (5) Alter a burden of proof requirement otherwise established by law for a challenge to a law or regulation pertaining to hunting, fishing, or trapping the wildlife of this State. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 212 by doing the following: (1) Removing language related to the use of "traditional methods" of hunting, fishing, or trapping. (2) Providing clarity that after passage of this Act the General Assembly, and any state agency or local government authorized by the General Assembly, may continue to establish hunting, fishing, or trapping requirements based on the best available science and wildlife management practices, including requirements for humane methods of take or requirements for licenses or permits, bag limits, or other practices for managing wildlife. Amending the Delaware Constitution requires not only the passing of the changes in this Act, but also passage of the same changes after the next general election by the next General Assembly. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article XVI of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend the Delaware Constitution AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE I OF THE DELAWARE CONSTITUTION RELATING TO HUNTING, FISHING, AND TRAPPING WILDLIFE.
