| HB 65 | Signed | Heffernan | According to the Mayo Clinic, miscarriages occur in about 20% of all pregnancies, and generally, in the first 12 weeks. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 out of every 100 American pregnancies ends in stillbirth. Black women have a significantly higher risk of miscarrying— 43% higher when compared to white women. Black mothers are also more than twice as likely to experience stillbirth compared to Hispanic and white mothers.
This bill provides State employees who suffer a miscarriage, stillbirth or other loss, a maximum of 5 days of paid bereavement leave.
This Act shall be known as the "Sloane Hajek Act of 2023". | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. |
| HB 119 w/ HA 1, HA 1 to HA 1, HA 2 | Committee | Dukes | Delaware is one of five states that does not have an open container law, which is in direct violation of federal regulations.

| SB 115 | Signed | Gay | This Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act (the “GP Act”) to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments to the GP Act:
Section 1 amends § 15-101 of the GP Act (i) to add a new definition of “foreign partnership,” which term appears in the GP Act, and (ii) to fix a typographical error.
Section 2 adds a new § 15-208 to the GP Act to clarify that a subscription for a partnership interest may be irrevocable if the subscription states it is irrevocable to the extent provided by the terms of the subscription.
Section 3 amends § 15-902(g) of the GP Act. Currently, § 15-902(g) of the GP Act permits a duly approved agreement of merger or consolidation or plan of merger to effect any amendment to the partnership agreement or effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement. This amendment to § 15-902(g) confirms that an amendment to a partnership agreement or adoption of a new partnership agreement effected under § 15-902(g) of the GP Act may be effected only with respect to the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting partnership and not with respect to the partnership agreement of a constituent partnership that is not a surviving or resulting partnership.
Section 4 amends § 15-1003(b) of the GP Act to confirm that this section of the GP Act applies to foreign limited liability partnerships.
Section 5 provides that the amendments to the GP Act take effect August 1, 2023. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE CREATION, REGULATION, OPERATION, AND DISSOLUTION OF DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS AND THE REGISTRATION AND REGULATION OF FOREIGN LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS. |
| SB 112 | Signed | Gay | This Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “LP Act”) to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments to the LP Act:
Section 1 amends § 17-204(a) of the LP Act to clarify that certificates required by the LP Act to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State be executed in the manner set forth in § 17-204(a). Further, because Section 5 of this Act contains amendments that permit or require a certificate of amendment to a certificate of division to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State, this section also amends § 17-204(a) of the LP Act to provide the manner in which a certificate of amendment to a certificate of division must be signed.
Section 2 amends § 17-211(g) of the LP Act. Currently, § 17-211(g) of the LP Act permits a duly approved agreement of merger or consolidation or plan of merger to effect any amendment to the partnership agreement or effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement. This amendment to § 17-211(g) confirms that an amendment to a partnership agreement or adoption of a new partnership agreement effected pursuant to § 17-211(g) of the LP Act may be effected only with respect to the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership and not with respect to the partnership agreement of a constituent limited partnership that is not the surviving or resulting limited partnership.
Sections 3 and 6 amend § 17-218(b)(1) and § 17-221(c)(1) of the LP Act. Each protected or registered series of a Delaware limited partnership must have a general partner associated with it. If a partnership agreement fails to designate an initial general partner associated with such a series, the LP Act designates a general partner to be associated with such a series. If a partnership agreement fails to designate a general partner of the limited partnership generally, the LP Act designates a general partner of the limited partnership generally. These sections amend § 17-218(b)(1) of the LP Act and § 17-221(c)(1) of the LP Act to confirm that the rules for designating a general partner for a limited partnership that has protected or registered series apply only to the designation of an initial general partner and not to subsequent general partners.
Section 4 amends §17-218 of the LP Act. Currently, § 17-806 of the LP Act permits revocation of dissolution of a limited partnership prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of limited partnership in the office of the Secretary of State; however, the LP Act does not currently address revocation of termination of a protected series prior to the completion of the winding up of the protected series. This amendment adds a new § 17-218(d) to permit revocation of termination of a protected series prior to the completion of the winding up of the protected series.
Section 5 amends § 17-220(h) of the LP Act. Currently, among other requirements, a certificate of division must state the name and business address of the division contact and the name and address of the division partnership where the plan of division is on file. Because this information may change over time, this amendment permits or requires the filing of a certificate of amendment of certificate of division to amend the name or business address of the division contact or the name and address of the division partnership where the plan of division is on file. The requirement to update such information in a certificate of division ends after the expiration of a period of 6 years following the effective date of the division.
Section 5 also amends § 17-220(l)(1) of the LP Act to clarify that pursuant to a division, a dividing partnership is divided into distinct and independent division partnerships as such term is used in the LP Act.
Finally, Section 5 also amends § 17-220(l)(9) of the LP Act. Currently, under § 17-220 of the LP Act, a dividing partnership does not need to survive a division. This amendment confirms that a dividing partnership need not be a surviving partnership.
Section 7 amends §17-221 of the LP Act. Currently, § 17-806 of the LP Act permits revocation of dissolution of a limited partnership prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of limited partnership in the office of the Secretary of State; however, the LP Act does not currently address revocation of dissolution of a registered series prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of registered series in the office of the Secretary of State. This amendment adds a new § 17-221(f) to permit revocation of dissolution of a registered series prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of registered series in the office of the Secretary of State.
Section 8 adds a new § 17-506 to the LP Act to clarify that a subscription for a partnership interest may be irrevocable if the subscription states it is irrevocable to the extent provided by the terms of the subscription.
Section 9 amends § 17-1107(a)(3) of the LP Act to specify the fee payable to the Secretary of State to file a certificate of amendment of certificate of division.
Section 10 amends § 17-1109(j) of the LP Act to acknowledge that certificates of amendment of certificate of division should be accepted for filing by the Secretary of State if at least 1 division partnership is in good standing at the time of such filings.
Section 11 provides that the proposed amendments to the LP Act take effect August 1, 2023.
This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 11 of Article VIII of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to impose or levy a tax or license fee. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE CREATION, REGULATION, OPERATION, AND DISSOLUTION OF DOMESTIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS AND THE REGISTRATION AND REGULATION OF FOREIGN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS. |
| SB 113 | Signed | Gay | This Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”) to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments to the LLC Act:
Section 1 amends § 18-204(a) of the LLC Act to clarify that certificates required by the LLC Act to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State are to be executed in the manner set forth in § 18-204(a).
Section 2 amends § 18-205(a) of the LLC Act to clarify that a failure or refusal to execute any certificate required by the LLC Act is subject to § 18-205(a) of the LLC Act.
Section 3 amends § 18-209(f) of the LLC Act. Currently, § 18-209(f) of the LLC Act permits a duly approved agreement of merger or consolidation or plan of merger to effect any amendment to a limited liability company agreement or effect the adoption of a new limited liability company agreement. This amendment to § 18-209(f) confirms that an amendment to a limited liability company agreement or adoption of a new limited liability company agreement effected pursuant to § 18-209(f) of the LLC Act may be effected only with respect to the limited liability company agreement of the surviving or resulting limited liability company and not with respect to the limited liability company agreement of a constituent limited liability company that is not the surviving or resulting limited liability company.
Section 4 amends § 18-215 of the LLC Act. Currently, § 18-806 of the LLC Act permits revocation of dissolution of a limited liability company prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of formation in the office of the Secretary of State; however, the LLC Act does not currently address revocation of termination of a protected series prior to the completion of the winding up of the protected series. This amendment adds a new §18-215(d) to permit revocation of termination of a protected series prior to the completion of the winding up of the protected series.
Section 5 amends § 18-217(h) of the LLC Act. Currently, among other requirements, a certificate of division must state the name and business address of the division contact and the name and address of the division company where the plan of division is on file. Because this information may change over time, this amendment permits or requires the filing of a certificate of amendment of certificate of division to amend the name or business address of the division contact or the name and address of the division company where the plan of division is on file. The requirement to update such information in a certificate of division ends after the expiration of a period of 6 years following the effective date of the division.
Section 5 also amends § 18-217(l)(1) of the LLC Act to clarify that pursuant to a division, a dividing company is divided into distinct and independent division companies as such term is used in the LLC Act.
Finally, Section 5 also amends § 18-217(l)(9) of the LLC Act. Currently, under § 18-217 of the LLC Act, a dividing company does not need to survive a division. This amendment confirms that a dividing company need not be a surviving company.
Section 6 amends § 18-218 of the LLC Act. Currently, § 18-806 of the LLC Act permits revocation of dissolution of a limited liability company prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of formation in the office of the Secretary of State; however, the LLC Act does not currently address revocation of dissolution of a registered series prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of registered series in the office of the Secretary of State. This amendment adds a new § 18-218(f) to permit revocation of dissolution of a registered series prior to the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of registered series in the office of the Secretary of State.
Section 7 adds a new § 18-506 to the LLC Act to clarify that a subscription for a limited liability company interest may be irrevocable if the subscription states it is irrevocable to the extent provided by the terms of the subscription.
Section 8 amends § 18-1105(a)(3) of the LLC Act to specify the fee payable to the Secretary of State to file a certificate of amendment of certificate of division.
Section 9 amends § 18-1107(k) of the LLC Act to acknowledge that certificates of amendment of certificate of division should be accepted for filing by the Secretary of State if at least 1 division company is in good standing at the time of such filings.

| SB 116 | Signed | S. McBride | This Act adopts the PA Licensure Compact, which is an interstate occupational licensure compact for physician assistants (PAs). The purpose of the Compact is to strengthen access to medical services and enhance the portability of a license to practice as a physician assistant while safeguarding the safety of patients and complementing the existing authority of state licensing boards to license and discipline physician assistants. Under the Compact, a physician assistant licensed in a Compact member state may obtain a privilege to practice in another Compact member state. Physician assistants using a Compact privilege to practice in another state must adhere to laws and regulations of practice in that state and are under the jurisdiction of the regulatory board of the state in which they are practicing.
The Compact contemplates the establishment of a PA Compact Commission, which will consist of one delegate from each member state and will administer the Compact, and a data system, for the purpose of maintaining a coordinated data and reporting system containing licensure, adverse action, and investigative information on licensed physician assistants in participating states.
The Compact will take effect on the date of enactment by the seventh state. Currently, 1 state has enacted the Compact and at least 4 states, not including Delaware, are considering legislation to enact the Compact. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS LICENSURE COMPACT. |
| SB 117 w/ SA 1 | Signed | Pettyjohn | This Act authorizes paramedics and other EMS providers to provide medical care to police dogs injured at the scene of an emergency. This Act also grants civil immunity to paramedics and other EMS providers who provide medical services to police dogs, so long as their efforts to assist the police dog were in good faith. However, this Act clarifies that in a situation where a human and a police dog need emergency medical care at the same time, the medical services personnel are prohibited from providing care to the police dog over the human, if the care of the police dog would hinder the human’s care. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE MEDICAL CARE OF POLICE DOGS INJURED IN THE LINE OF DUTY. |

This bill also provides that compliance with unsafe storage of a firearm in a vehicle is a defense to carrying a concealed deadly weapon. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO OFFENSES INVOLVING DEADLY WEAPONS AND DANGEROUS INSTRUMENTS. |
| SB 129 w/ SA 1 | Signed | Walsh | The Act updates the Delaware Code concerning animal shelter standards and treatment of animals in shelters to reflect best practices, which are currently already being followed by most shelters. The Act also fills in gaps in existing law, such as by requiring that animals be vaccinated against rabies before adoption or release and by setting standards for feeding and access to water, facilities and enclosures, and sanitation and disease control.
The Act also makes technical changes to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
| AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ANIMAL SHELTERS. |
| SB 133 | Signed | Brown | The Voluntary Assessment Center was created by legislative action in 1976 (60 Del. Laws Section 509) to allow recipients of minor traffic violations to pay the fine and costs associated with the violation without the need to appear in the Justice of the Peace Court. Section 709 (i) advises that "Payment of the prescribed fine, costs, and penalty assessment is an admission of guilt, a waiver of the right to a hearing, and a complete satisfaction of the violation." Upon payment, the Court can consider the matter closed and advise the Division of Motor Vehicles of the violation for the Division's recordance purposes. Formerly, those who were unable to pay the fine in one payment were required instead to submit to a court date (which engendered additional court costs) if only to request a payment plan - a practice that seemed patently unfair. Accordingly, in 2012, the Court established a process where the Voluntary Assessment Center could accept payment of fines incrementally. Although more equitable, this new process caused unforeseen consequences. Because the current definition of payment is the total amount due, if a person makes a partial payment but does not completely pay the balance of the fine, the Court cannot consider the matter closed. The Division is not made aware of the violation and the case remains in administrative limbo. Currently, no capiases or warrants are issued for unpaid Voluntary Assessments. Instead, the Division places a flag on an individual's license and registration. It is usually only years later when an individual goes to renew their license that they respond to the Court to complete payment. Redefining payment in the definition of this section will further streamline the Court's administrative process of maintaining the record and will report to the Division the associated data in a timely manner. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES AND PAYMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE FINES. |

| SB 146 | Signed | Sturgeon | Under current law, an individual can file a charge of employment discrimination by sending the verified charge to the Delaware Department of Labor (Department). This Act clarifies that a verified charge of discrimination is deemed to be filed on the date it is sent to the Department.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 19 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT. |
| SB 148 | Signed | Sturgeon | This Act allows a practitioner with the authority to prescribe medication to give the unused portion of topical medication used during treatment to a patient upon discharge or the conclusion of the visit. This Act is based on the Model Act created by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, which has been adopted in Illinois.
During a procedure, practitioners may use only a few drops or small amount of medication from a container. Because regulations governing the ability to dispense the remaining portion of stock-item medications can be unclear or appear overly burdensome, many facilities do not allow the practitioner to dispense that container to the patient to take home with them. Instead, the practitioner must write a prescription for the patient and the medication that remains in the container is discarded.
By allowing patients to take home provider-dispensed medication, this Act reduces waste and health-care costs and by eliminating the extra burden of going to the pharmacy to fill a prescription, this Act will better ensure medication compliance.
This Act is known as "The Topical Medical Waste Reduction Act".
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE TOPICAL MEDICAL WASTE REDUCTION ACT. |

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. It also allows a greater increase where more than 50% of the homeowners use the property as a second residence. 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.
It also requires community owners to annually provide certain information relating to the lot rental assistance program to its homeowners and to certify to DEMHRA its compliance with the program requirements, and allows DEMHRA to request further information about the program as needed. It requires enrollment in the lot rental assistance program to remain open year-round.
It requires community owners to provide specified contact information to DEMHRA within 60 days of taking ownership, possession, or control of a manufactured housing community.
