New Legislation Introduced

Bill	Current Status	Sponsor	Synopsis	Title
HA 1 to HB 186	PWB	Osienski	This Amendment requires that a CCGT generation facility receiving a tax credit under this Act must: (1) be constructed under a project labor agreement; and (2) be operated under a collective bargaining agreement.
HA 1 to HS 1 for HB 147	Passed	Harris	This Amendment does all of the following: (1) Requires property transferred by a transfer on death deed to be inventoried along with other property of the deceased owner (“transferor”) if a probate estate is opened for the transferor with the Register of Wills. (2) Makes clear that the executor or administrator of the transferor’s estate has authority to access and safeguard personal property of the transferor held by the transferor at the time of death on real property titled in the transferor’s own name transferred at the transferor’s death by a transfer on death deed. (3) Makes clear that a valid transfer on death deed transfers the real property immediately on the transferor’s death and that the failure to file a notice form, death certificate, or inventory form under § 218 of Title 12, created by Hosue Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 147, does not invalidate an otherwise valid transfer on death deed.
HB 215	Committee	Minor-Brown	Section 1 of this Act changes the definition of “tobacco product” to include all products intended for consumption that contain, are made from, or derived from tobacco or nicotine. Nicotine pouches are specifically enumerated as a product included in this definition. Products or substances that contain marijuana are specifically excluded from the tobacco products definition, since those items will be subject to taxation under Chapter 13 of Title 4. Also excluded are products regulated as a drug or therapeutic device by the United States Food and Drug Administration under Chapter V of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Section 2 of the Act raises tobacco product tax rates as follows: (1) The tax on cigarettes is raised from $2.10 per 20 pack of cigarettes to $3.60 per 20 pack of cigarettes; (2) Tax on vapor products raised from 5 cents to 25 cents; (3) Tax on moist snuff raised from 92 cents per ounce to $1.23 per ounce and the tax rate for all other tobacco products is raised from 30% of the wholesale price to 45% of the wholesale price. Sections 3 and 4 raise the fee for licenses under this chapter. The increased tax rates take effect on September 1, 2025. A floor tax, due by December 31, 2025 is due on products that are stocked but not yet sold as of the effective date, in an amount equal to the difference between tax already paid at the old rate and the new rate of tax. The increased license fees take effect on January 1, 2026.	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TOBACCO PRODUCT TAXATION AND LICENSING.
SA 1 to SB 159	Passed	Hansen	This amendment makes a technical correction so that the retroactive effective date of Senate Bill No. 159 coincides with the signing by the Governor of Senate Bill No. 170 in 2023, as intended.
