AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 16 AND 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ABUSE AND NEGLECT OF RESIDENTS OR PATIENTS IN FACILITIES.

In recognition of the increasing abusive and illegal uses of controlled substances and the illegal commerce thereof, this bill creates a new offense and imposes penalties for diverting prescription drugs from a patient of a facility. It also requires those who register to prescribe, sell, dispense or distribute controlled substances demonstrate regularly to complete 2 continuing education credits in the area of awareness and knowledge of the problems posed by the abuse of controlled substances. The bill also makes corrections to drafting errors in the 2011 bill that eliminated consent as a defense to sexual abuse in a facility.
