DELAWARE STATE SENATE

151st GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO

SENATE BILL NO. 44

AMEND Senate Bill No. 44 on line 25 by deleting “all” between “of” and “overdose” and replacing in lieu thereof “ all ”.

SYNOPSIS

This Amendment removes the word "all" from the current law. Currently, the Drug Overdose Fatality Review Commission ("Commission") uses a sampling method since there are so many overdose deaths to review each year. The removal of "all" allows the Commission to review every death if resources allow, but also reflects the current process that reviews a sample of the deaths.
