New Legislation Introduced

Bill	Current Status	Sponsor	Synopsis	Title
SB 201	Committee	Buckson	Of the 41 states with a state income tax, 27 states fully exempt military retirement pay from state income taxes and 12 states partially exempt military retirement pay. In 2022, Delaware increased the pension exclusion for military pensioners under 60 to $12,500. This Act phases in, over 3 years, an increased exemption for military pensions from state income taxation, regardless of age, so that in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, the exemption will be $25,000 for all military pensioners.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EXCLUSION OF MILITARY PENSIONS FROM TAXABLE INCOME.
HB 269	Committee	Yearick	This is the first leg of a constitutional amendment creating a "Crossover Day" deadline for each House of the General Assembly to send legislation over to the other House. The annual budget appropriation act, grants-in-aid act, bond and capital improvements act, and resolutions are excluded from this deadline. Currently 26 states, including Maryland, have crossover day deadlines for passing legislation between their two legislative chambers.	AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE II OF THE DELAWARE CONSTITUTION RELATING TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
HA 2 to SS 1 for SB 2	Passed	Minor-Brown	This amendment does the following: Extends from 1 year to 2 years the length of time a handgun qualified purchaser permit is valid from the date of issue. Makes a technical correction to language relating to the JP Court appeal process. Allows for local law-enforcement agencies to ensure surrender or removal of handguns purchased with a revoked permit. Removes the firearms training course voucher program and makes corresponding technical changes. Adds an explicit severability provision.
HS 1 for HB 168	Lieu/Substituted	K. Williams	Substitute 1 to HB 168 applies the lodging tax to short-term rentals and requires an accommodations intermediary to obtain an occupational license and pay an annual licensing fee of $25.00. This bill defines an accommodations intermediary as a person or business that facilitates or arranges the renting of rooms or dwelling units to an occupant on a website or through other means, including the renting of properties subject to a timeshare plan. Under this Act, accommodations intermediaries must collect and remit taxes and data as required by the Division of Revenue. This Act further authorizes New Castle and Sussex Counties to impose a lodging tax of no more than 3 percent on short-term rentals. This bill is primarily different from the original in that it uses different terms and definitions to identify the individuals responsible for collecting short-term rental taxes.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 9 AND 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LODGING TAX.
