AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO § 11, ARTICLE I OF THE DELAWARE CONSTITUTION RELATING TO PROHIBITING THE IMPOSITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY.

This Act is the first leg of an amendment to the Delaware Constitution to prohibit the imposition of the death penalty. 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 when the General Assembly amends the Delaware Constitution.
