AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
Recently, the Department of Justice has dismissed misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence in the Court of Common Pleas in Sussex County and refiled the same misdemeanor charges in the Superior Court in Sussex County.
This Act ends that practice by vesting exclusive original criminal jurisdiction for a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence in the Court of Common Pleas. If a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence otherwise may be joined properly with a felony within the jurisdiction of Superior Court, the violation of this section is within the jurisdiction of Superior Court.
