New Legislation Introduced

Bill	Current Status	Sponsor	Synopsis	Title
HA 1 to HB 223	Stricken	Minor-Brown	This Amendment provides an effective date of January 1, 2026.
HA 1 to HB 242	PWB	Minor-Brown	This Amendment provides that a hospital could not prohibit in-person visitation by a doula providing doula services with a pregnant or postpartum person.
HA 1 to HS 1 for HB 162	Stricken	Lynn	This Amendment removes a prohibition on a natural organic reduction facility admitting human remains where the Board of Funeral Services determines that the human remains are or are reasonably believed to be carrying a viral or other public health risk that will not be eliminated in the process of natural organic reduction or where it cannot be determined whether the risk will be eliminated in that process. Instead, this Amendment adds a prohibition on the admission of human remains where the individual had or is suspected of having any viral or other public health risk the Division of Public Health determines may not be eliminated in the process of natural organic reduction.
HS 1 for HB 212	Lieu/Substituted	Longhurst	House Bill 212 prohibits manufactured home community owners from drastically increasing rent each year by prohibiting a community owner from increasing rent if the rent was increased by 5 percent or more the previous year or rental period. This Act does not prohibit a community owner from increasing rent to market rent in phases as called for in current law, even if doing so would otherwise violate the prohibition on increasing rent after a 5 percent or more increase. This Act clarifies that penalties of rent reduction and repayment of excess rent will be imposed for a community owner who increases rent in violation of any provision of Title 25, Chapter 70. House Bill 212 requires community owners to annually provide certain information relating to the lot rental assistance program to DEMHRA as well as certify compliance with the program requirements, and allows DEMHRA to request further information about the program as needed. House Bill 212 also requires community owners to provide specified contact information to DEMHRA within 60 days of taking ownership, possession, or control of a manufactured housing community. This House Substitute No. 1 alters the prohibition from House Bill 212 on manufactured home community owners increasing rent if the rent was increased by 5 percent or more the previous year or rental period, instead permitting an increase capped at 3 percent. This Substitute also adds a requirement that landlords hold an annual meeting with homeowners in the month of August to provide the latter with information on available resources in coordination with the Office of the Manufactured Housing Ombudsman. This Substitute makes changes to the eligibility requirements for the lot rental assistance program. It clarifies that enrollment in the program is open during every month of a homeowner’s lease period. This Substitute requires that DEMHRA consult with interested community owners in developing a form to be used by community owners for the annual report of information relating to the lot rental assistance program. Finally, this Substitute closes a loophole in the existing law by imposing a rental increase limitation in circumstances where a homeowner qualified but was not provided with lot rental assistance during the immediately preceding rental period.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MANUFACTURED HOUSING.
SB 160	Signed	Walsh	This Bill is the Fiscal Year 2024 Bond and Capital Improvements Act.
