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

This Act adds testifying at a hearing held by a standing committee of the House of Representatives or Senate or joint committee of the General Assembly within the definition of “swears falsely,” which applies to Delaware’s perjury laws. This addition means that false testimony to a standing or joint committee would subject a person to prosecution for perjury. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
