| HS 1 for HB 427 | Committee | Morrison | This Act protects consumers by regulating home improvement contracts. Among other things, this Act provides the buyer with a right to cancel home improvement contracts within 3 days (5 days for those over the age of 62 or with a disability); limits contract deposits and material deposits; and time periods in which construction must begin. It also prohibits confessions of judgments and hasty debt transfers. Where the court finds a party to a home improvement contract wilfully violates a provision of this new subchapter, the court must award to the prevailing party costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
This Act also creates a requirement that individuals convicted of 2 or more offenses of home improvement fraud after January 1, 2025, must be subject to debarment. This debarment will preclude these individuals from operating a business which engages in home improvement services or from employing other individuals to engage in home improvement services. Debarred individuals may work for a company which engages in home improvement themselves, so long as they are not in control of the company in question. This bill also enhances penalties for home improvement fraud for those with prior convictions for home improvement fraud; and creates enhanced penalties for individuals who engage in home improvement services while operating companies which are not registered with the Delaware Department of Labor’s Contractor Registry.
This Substitute differs from the original House Bill No. 427 in that it eliminates original lines 156-181 which contained sentencing enhancements that the Act would otherwise have added for those convicted of home improvement fraud who are found not to have complied with the home improvement protections set forth in Chapter 36 of Title 19. It changes the definition of “debarment” in original line 113 and “qualifying conviction” in original lines 131-133 to provide greater clarity. It changes the enhanced penalties for violations of home improvement fraud from those set forth in original lines 137-143. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 6 AND 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HOME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. |

| SS 1 for SB 301 | Out of Committee | Gay | Like Senate Bill No. 301, this Act, Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 301 requires public universities in this state to provide access to medication for the termination of pregnancy and emergency contraception. The medication and contraception must be provided on-site, but consultation to provide them may be performed by a provider at the student health center or by a provider who is associated with a university-contracted external agency. This Act takes effect on July 1, 2025.
Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 301 differs from SB 301 as follows:
- Defines the term "student."
- Provides an exception for a university that does not have a student health center, including requirements that the university provide information and referral services to students and ensure that the university's health services website provides specified information relating to reproductive services.
- Adds a requirement that universities maintain confidentiality of information a student provides relating to a request for a referral.
- Removes references to private institutions of postsecondary education. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PROVIDING MEDICATION ABORTION PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION. |
