AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE GUN SHOP PROJECT.

In 2009, New Hampshire was the first state to develop a statewide “Gun Shop Project,” reaching out to gun shops regarding the role they can play in suicide prevention. In the years since, at least 21 other states have implemented similar campaigns. This Act establishes the Delaware Gun Shop Project (“Project”), under which the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (“Division”) must develop relevant materials that may be posted conspicuously and available for distribution at Delaware gun shops. This Act requires the Division to promulgate regulations that establish and govern a mechanism to track participation in and efficacy of the Project, and authorizes the Division to promulgate other regulations, such as how the training will be offered and taken, as needed.
