AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SPECIFIC OFFENSES.

This purpose of this Act is to provide greater protections for Delaware’s vulnerable and infirm adults, individuals the General Assembly considers to be particularly at risk of physical, emotional and/or financial exploitation. The Act creates a new criminal offense, Crime Against the Vulnerable or Infirm, which imposes enhanced penalties in more than 60 criminal offenses if the victim is a vulnerable or infirm adult.
