AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE ASSIGNMENT OF RETIRED COMMISSIONERS.

This Act permits the Superior Court to temporarily assign duties to a retired Commissioner at the designation of the President Judge with the approval of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. A retired Commissioner must have been in good standing at the time of his or her retirement, agree to the assignment, and not be involved or employed in any position that would create a conflict, including the private practice of law, holding any state office, or being employed by the State in any capacity. The ability to temporality assign duties to a retired Commissioner will enable the Superior Court to maintain its current workflow without interruption in the event a Commissioner was unavailable for a period of time. In addition, both the Family Court and the Court of Common Pleas currently have the ability to temporarily assign duties to a retired Commissioner. This Act is substantively similar to those provisions; however, it differs stylistically to conform to the guidelines of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
