HA 1 to HB 78	Passed	Morrison	This Amendment adds the vehicle identification number of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter was removed as additional information a scrap metal processor or other authorized purchaser of a catalytic converter must obtain at the time of purchase or acquisition.
HB 101	Committee	Bush	This Act directs DelDOT and DNREC to develop a program to allow for the expedited review of entrance plans and stormwater and sediment plans associated with new development. Under this process a consultant pre-approved by DelDOT and/or DNREC would conduct the review and the costs would be paid directly by the developer. The state agencies are charged with developing policies and procedures to protect against potential conflicts of interest in the use of private consultants.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 7 AND 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EXPEDITED REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT-RELATED PERMIT APPLICATIONS.
HB 103	Committee	Bush	Transportation infrastructure is critical to the safe and efficient movement of people as well as goods and services throughout the State. The Delaware Strategies and Spending identifies various investment levels to help prioritize State infrastructure funding, with investment levels 1 and 2 representing the areas of highest priority. However, there are many transportation facilities within these areas which do not meet the current standards and rely on development projects to construct improvements resulting in unpredictable costs and fragmented infrastructure. This act creates a transportation impact fee for areas within state strategies and spending levels 1 and 2 that are not currently within an approved Transportation Improvement District. The impact fee ensures that development contributes a reasonable, responsible share of the transportation impact to fund off-site improvements including but not limited to bringing substandard roads to current standards, improving pedestrian facilities, and upgrading deficient intersections while allowing the Department of Transportation to implement the improvements in a more cohesive way. The fees are to be utilized within the counties where they are collected.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT.
