New Legislation Introduced

Bill	Current Status	Sponsor	Synopsis	Title
HS 1 for HB 359	Committee	Shupe	This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 359. This Act, like House Bill No. 359, changes the applicability of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act. This Act differs from House Bill No. 359 because instead of applying all of the provisions of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act to the State government, this Act limits the application to the State government only for purposes of a consumer enforcing a right under § 12D-104(a)(6) of Title 6 of the Delaware Code to opt out of the processing of the consumer’s personal data for the purpose of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PERSONAL DATA PRIVACY AND CONSUMER PROTECTION.
HS 1 for HB 342	Signed	Morrison	This Act creates a Voluntary Firearms Do-Not-Sell Registry in which an applicant may voluntarily enroll for the purpose of being prohibited from obtaining a firearm. An individual on the Registry may request removal from the Registry no sooner than 30 days after the individual is entered on the registry. Once an individual requests removal from the Registry, the individual must be removed from the Registry no sooner than 30 days after the removal request. A person who transfers a firearm to an individual in violation of this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a class G felony for a subsequent offense. An individual who makes a false statement or representation regarding their identity when requesting inclusion or removal from the Registry shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 342 differs from House Bill No. 342 as follows: (1) Defines the terms “firearm” and “transfer” to increase clarity and ensure consistency with other parts of the Code; (2) Clarifies that unlicensed persons are also prohibited from selling a firearm to an individual enrolled on the Registry; (3) Requires a licensed dealer to facilitate the Registry check on behalf of the unlicensed seller in the same way it completes a background check on behalf of the unlicensed seller under § 904A of Title 24; (4) Clarifies that a person, rather than an individual, may be liable for selling a firearm to an individual enrolled on the Registry; (5) Clarifies that a person must knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to an individual on the Registry to be in violation of this Act; and (6) Makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 11 AND 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE VOLUNTARY FIREARMS DO-NOT-SELL REGISTRY ACT.
HA 1 to HS 1 for HB 17	PWB	Morrison	This amendment clarifies that the law will take effect for those covered by a collective bargaining agreement in effect on January 1, 2027 on the expiration date in the contract or when the contract is subject to renewal/amendment/extension. In this case, the law might not take effect for some unionized employees for many years, if they are covered by a very long contract term.
HB 384	Committee	Romer	This Act amends the Newark Charter by authorizing the City of Newark to levy and collect a per student, per semester tax on Colleges and Universities that host in person classes which are located within the boundaries of the City of Newark. This tax applies to all colleges and universities including any organizations that are considered subdivisions of the State of Delaware or are otherwise tax exempt, including but not limited to the University of Delaware. It also limits the available payment methods to restrict the use of credit cards for the payment of the aforementioned tax.	AN ACT TO AMEND THE NEWARK CITY CHARTER AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF NEWARK TO LEVY A TAX ON COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF NEWARK.
