| SB 27 w/ SA 2 + HA 1 | Passed House | Brown | This Act establishes the Office of New Americans to help improve the lives and economic prosperity of new Americans who come to Delaware and of all Delawareans generally. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF NEW AMERICANS. |
| HS 1 for HB 200 w/ HA 1 + SA 1 | Passed | Chukwuocha | This Act is a substitute for HB 200 and differs from HB 200 by requiring health insurance coverage only for pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”) medication and post-exposure prophylaxis (“PEP”) medication. This Act also makes technical corrections including updating section numbers and updating the applicability date so insurance companies can file rates that include the cost of the coverage required under this Act.
This Act requires individual health insurance plans, group and blanket health insurance plans, the state employee health plan, and state Medicaid insurance to cover medically necessary PrEP medication for the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) infection before possible HIV exposure and medically necessary PEP medication for the prevention of HIV infection after possible HIV exposure.
The coverage must include must be provided without any of the following:
1. Cost-sharing requirements, including deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, and out-of-pocket expenses.
2. Prior authorization or step therapy requirements.
3. Unreasonable delay in coverage determination.
This Act applies to all policies, contracts, or certificates that are renewed, modified, altered, amended, or reissued after December 31, 2027. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18, TITLE 29, AND TITLE 31 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TREATMENT TO PREVENT HIV INFECTION. |
| SB 280 | Passed | Townsend | Scams and fraud related to gift cards are rapidly becoming a major issue in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission reported more than 41,000 gift card fraud reports or $212 million in losses in 2024 with the final numbers for 2025 expected to be similar. With advancements in technology, these scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and consequential for consumers.
This Act sets forth the definitions and elements of crimes related to gift card theft. It establishes that a person is guilty of gift card theft if one of the following criteria is true (with the intent to defraud):
1. Acquires or retains possession of a gift card or gift card redemption information without the consent of the cardholder, card issuer, or gift card seller.
2. Alters or tampers with a gift card or the packaging in which it is offered for sale.
3. Devises a scheme to obtain a gift card or gift card redemption information that has been obtained in violation of paragraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section or as a result of a scheme described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
4. Uses, for the purpose of obtaining money, goods, services, or anything else of value, a gift card or gift card redemption information that has been obtained in violation of paragraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section or as a result of a scheme described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
Lastly, this Act establishes that gift card theft is punishable under § 841(c) and § 841(d) of Title 11. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THEFT. |
| SS 1 for SB 168 | Passed | Walsh | Senate Substitute 1 for SB 168 allows for the delivery of alcoholic liquors from any entity with a valid off-premise license. In addition, this substitute provides that acts of a licensed consumer delivery permittee or a delivery driver are not attributable to the retailer.
This substitute bill differs from SB 168 in that it clarifies that § 516 of Title 4 applies to package stores, restaurants, and clubs, and not to hotels, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, tobacco retailers, or cigar stores. This substitute bill also separates a subsection into two parts, addressing curbside sales and deliveries, for purposes of clarity. In addition, this substitute bill provides that a third-party delivery vendor may charge package stores no more than a single, flat rate that is applicable to all package stores that enter into a delivery contract with the third-party delivery vendor—that is, the third-party vendor may not charge a different rate to different stores, or a different rate for different deliveries from the same store. Finally, this substitute bill provides that it takes effect 6 months after its enactment. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS. |
| HB 382 w/ HA 2 | Committee | Lynn | This Act allows rental car companies and peer-to-peer car sharing programs to recover loss of use damages from any rental car drivers, shared vehicle drivers, or the negligent party’s insurer caused by any renter or an authorized driver’s negligent, intentional, willful, or criminal acts resulting in a loss of the vehicle’s use. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 6 AND 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RENTAL CARS AND PEER- TO-PEER CAR SHARING LOSS OF USE. |
| SB 297 | Passed | Hansen | This Act adds a clarifying interpretive paragraph to the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act (Subchapter II, Chapter 25, Title 6 of the Code) to address a recent decision by the Delaware Supreme Court and to make clear that the Consumer Fraud Act’s use of the phrase “in connection with” in § 2513 should be interpreted to include unfair and deceptive acts and practices that occur “before, during, and after” the sale, lease, receipt, or advertisement of any merchandise. The Delaware Supreme Court recently construed the Consumer Fraud Act to be confined to conduct “between businesses and consumers which happen before a transaction or during the transaction itself.” Blue Beach Bungalows DE, LLC v. State, No. 14, 2025, 2025 WL 3768232, at *11 (Del. Dec. 30, 2025). However, in recognition of the broad purpose of the Consumer Fraud Act set forth by the 123rd General Assembly in Section 2512, subsequent amendments to the Consumer Fraud Act to include the “receipt” of merchandise, and the scope of comparable statutes in other states, this bill ensures that the Consumer Fraud Act is interpreted to apply to unfair or deceptive conduct that occurs after a sale, lease, receipt, or advertisement, including, but not limited to, conduct occurring in instances in which a sale, lease, receipt, or advertisement creates an ongoing relationship or a continuing obligation, or where performance has not yet been completed. This aligns the Consumer Fraud Act with Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices (“UDAP”) laws with similar language in other states, as well as many other UDAP laws, including the FTC Act, that cover post-transaction conduct.
This Act will allow the Delaware Department of Justice to use the Consumer Fraud Act to address the full range of unfair and deceptive acts or practices that consumers report to the Delaware Department of Justice, including, for example, false and threatening landlord communications, unscrupulous debt collection tactics, and failures to honor promises to fix returned merchandise. It will also ensure that businesses throughout the state can compete on a level playing field throughout the duration of their relationships with consumers, without being undercut by unscrupulous competitors who engage in post-transaction misconduct. Additionally, it ensures that the Delaware Department of Justice is not disadvantaged when coordinating with other states to hold entities accountable for unfair or deceptive acts or practices that are nationwide in scope.
| AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CONSUMER PROTECTION. |
| HA 1 to SB 27 | Passed | Ortega | This Amendment does all of the following:
(1) Requires the Office of New Americans (“Office”) to develop strategies to retain immigrant and international students in higher education, convene stakeholders to identify and reduce exploitation and fraud against immigrants, disseminate information about legal services available to new Americans, and coordinate with the State Refugee Coordinator.
(2) Authorizes the Office to raise outside funds and enter into memonanda of understanding and other agreements as necessary to fulfill its statutory duties.
(3) Provides that certain records of the Office are not “public records” under the Freedom of Information Act to protect the privacy of individuals that may seek services or resources from the Office.
(4) Removes certain members from the Advisory Committee to the Office of New Americans (“Advisory Committee”) and replaces them with the Secretary of State, Attorney General, a member of the public appointed by the Governor, a member of the public appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a member of the public appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
(5) Removes a provision requiring the Advisory Committee to hold 1 public hearing each year to receive public comment because § 10004(a)(2) of Title 29 requires each public body to provide an opportunity for public comment at each meeting. | |
| SS 1 for SB 300 w/ SA 1 + HA 15, HA 16 | Passed House | Sokola | This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 300. Like SB 300, this Act requires firearm dealers to obtain a state license to sell or transfer firearms under Chapter 9B instead of the license to sell deadly weapons under Chapter 9 of Title 24. Like SB 300, this Act does all of the following:
-Establishes in statute factors that make a person ineligible to obtain a state license to sell or transfer firearms or to serve as a responsible person for a state license holder (licensee).
-Heightens and adds more specific security requirements.
-Heightens and centralizes recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
-Requires background checks for contractors and volunteers with access to the licensee's firearms or performing certain tasks for a licensee.
-Establishes training requirements.
-Includes a recurring inspection by the DSP to ensure licensees are in compliance with State law.
-Establishes civil penalties and possible license revocation in the event of violations.
This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 300 as follows:
-Changes the definition of firearm to reference 11 Del. C. § 222.
-Removes the license fee ranges that are dependent on the number of firearms sold or transferred and instead sets flat and established license fees at $300 for an initial license and $250 to renew a state license. This Act makes corresponding changes throughout to account for the change in license fee structure.
-Removes the licensee requirement to report firearm trace information to the Attorney General and the Attorney General’s publication of an annual report. Instead, firearm trace information will be provided as part of a licensee’s renewal application and will be provided to the General Assembly by the Delaware State Police (DSP).
-Background checks are required once every 2 years, instead of annually. Relatedly, the background check obtained by a licensee or responsible person is valid for 2 years for purposes of applying for an initial license or a license renewal under this chapter.
-Establishes December 31 of each year as the date that license renewal applications are due. Initial licenses that are granted after January 1 of each year may receive a prorated license fee. This Act makes corresponding changes throughout to account for the date change.
-Changes the DSP report about licensee status from an annual report due by December 1 to a biennial report due on March 1.
-Adds that the Delaware Department of Justice also has general investigative authority to investigate a breach of Chapter 9B. Under SB 300, only DSP had this authority.
-Removes the requirement that a licensee maintain all security system recordings for at least 3 years. DSP shall promulgate regulations that establish how long a licensee shall maintain recordings.
-The General Assembly shall expend any money collected in the Firearm Licensing Fund in furtherance of implementing this Act and Chapter 9 of Title 24.
-Delays implementation and gradually phases in the requirements in this Act, beginning by July 1, 2028, with DSP notification to people with valid special licenses to sell deadly weapons under Chapter 9 of Title 24 about the changes in law and the potential that a license under this Act may be required.
Changes made by this Act to Delaware’s licensing system are in recognition of a growing body of evidence that demonstrates that firearms dealers’ sales practices affect the probability of firearms entering the illegal market, and that policies designed to hold dealers accountable can curtail illegal use of firearms and the concomitant crimes.
According to the Johns Hopkins University Center for Gun Violence Solutions, utilizing data from the Centers for Disease Control, firearms are used in 78% of homicides that occur in Delaware. In addition to loss of life, firearm violence has an economic impact, costing Delawareans $1.3 billion per year, which amounts to $1,236 per resident. An article in the Journal of Urban Health found that in-state trafficking was 64 percent lower in places with strong firearm dealer regulations and oversight. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health, examining 20 years of data, found that state licensing requirements and laws requiring or allowing inspections or audits of firearm dealers were independently associated with significantly lower firearm homicide rates. The ATF has oversight over firearms dealers, but its efforts are insufficient. Though the ATF aims to inspect firearm dealers at least every three years, at the rate inspections are performed, a dealer can expect inspection only once every 9 years. ATF data reveals that, when they occur, dealer inspections generally yield a large number of violations. In sum, the frequency of violations and the rarity of inspections allow the possibility that dealers are violating law each year without any corrective action by the ATF.
According to data compiled by Brady United, there is State-specific evidence to suggest Delaware’s firearm licensing system would benefit from reform to protect the health and safety of our residents. According to 2017 through 2021 ATF data, 6,626 firearms were recovered in Delaware by law enforcement, after either having been used in a crime, found at a crime scene, or where the purchase or possession of the firearm was itself illegal (“crime guns”). Half of these crime guns were recovered by law enforcement within 3 years of retail purchase, which is indicative of potential firearm trafficking. The data also raises concerns about potential straw purchasing in our State, as there was a mismatch in the identity of the firearm purchaser and firearm possessor during a criminal offense in 72% of the traceable cases. Furthermore, 67% of the firearms recovered by law enforcement in this State were sourced from in-State firearm dealers. Delaware is also a significant supplier of crime guns to other states, most significantly Maryland (12.2% of the crime guns recovered come from Delaware dealers) and Pennsylvania (8.9% if the crime guns recovered come from Delaware dealers). | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11, TITLE 16, AND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DEADLY WEAPONS DEALERS. |
| SB 313 w/ SA 1 | Passed | Mantzavinos | This Act protects Delaware’s nonprofit acute care hospitals from acquisition by entities other than charities or not-for-profit entities during a moratorium period. It also permanently subjects the sale or encumbrance of primary facility real estate of a nonprofit acute care hospital to the Attorney General notice and review requirements of the Conversion Act.
Section 1 makes two primary changes to the definitions in § 2531 of Title 29. First, it clarifies that a "not-for-profit healthcare conversion transaction" includes those undertaken "directly or indirectly through one or more affiliates." This ensures that the Attorney General’s oversight cannot be circumvented by structuring transactions through shell entities or intermediaries. It provides a new, permanent category of conversion transaction: the sale, transfer, conveyance or lease of a hospital's "primary facility real estate" to a for-profit entity. This change ensures that arrangements involving the land and buildings of an acute care hospital are subject to the same notice and review requirements as a change in corporate control. Finally, Section 1 defines for "acute care hospital" and "primary facility real estate.”
Section 2 requires the Attorney General to transmit copies of any Conversion Act notice involving an acute care hospital to the Governor and the Secretary of the Department of Health and Social Services within 10 days of receipt.
Section 3 prohibits any person or entity, other than a charity or not-for-profit entity, from entering into a "change of control transaction" involving acquisition of a nonprofit acute care hospital. It defines a "change of control transaction" as the acquisition of the power to direct the hospital's management, policies, or clinical practices, whether through ownership of voting securities, changes in board composition, or by contract. Any transaction of this nature is void and has no legal effect. The prohibition expressly captures incremental acquisition scenarios, including minority stakes, sub-majority governance rights, board appointment rights, and executive officer appointment rights.
Section 4 amends § 9304 of Title 16 to prohibit any entity or person other than a charity or not-for-profit entity from submitting, and the Health Resources Board from accepting or processing, an application for a Certificate of Public Review for the construction, development, establishment, or acquisition of an acute care hospital. Any such application is void and of no legal effect.
Section 5 provides that Sections 2 through 4 are effective until July 1, 2028, unless terminated sooner or extended by the General Assembly. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 16 AND 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE PROTECTION OF NONPROFIT ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS. |
| SB 315 w/ SA 1 + HA 1 | Passed House | Brown | This act updates the Delaware Technical Innovation Program at Title 29 of the Delaware Code, Chapter 87A, Subchapter III by authorizing the Division of Small Business to provide matching funds or supplemental grant funds to eligible Delaware small businesses receiving federal SBIR or STTR awards in order to support research, development, commercialization, and economic benefit in this State. This act also authorizes the State to provide matching funds or supplemental grant funds to an eligible small business that has received a federal SBIR or STTR Phase I or Phase II award.
To qualify for funding under Title 29, § 8737A, a small business must have its principal place of business in Delaware and must certify that the funded work, related research and development, or commercialization activity will benefit the Delaware economy. The Division of Small Business shall administer the program using funds allocated or otherwise made available for such purpose and may establish application requirements, program guidelines, allowable uses of funds, award amounts, and such other criteria as are necessary to carry out § 8737A. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE TECHNICAL INNOVATION PROGRAM. |
| SB 320 w/ SA 2 | Passed | Pinkney | This Act modernizes Delaware’s pharmacy practice laws by authorizing pharmacists to practice to the full extent of their education and training.
Pharmacists have the expertise necessary to provide patient care beyond what current Delaware law allows, and enabling them to do so is an important step toward expanding access to health care in this State. Under this Act, pharmacists are permitted to independently evaluate patients, identify health conditions, order and prescribe laboratory tests, and prescribe drugs or devices without reliance on statewide protocols, formularies, or specified lists of conditions. Pharmacists may not prescribe controlled substances, with the exception of medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder, which pharmacists may only prescribe under a standing order from the Division of Public Health. In order to enable pharmacists to prescribe medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder under a standing order, this Act also amends the Uniform Controlled Susbstances Act in Chapter 47 of Title 16 to include “pharmacist” in the definition of “practitioner.”
To ensure continuity of care, this Act also establishes requirements for documentation of treatment and communication with primary care providers.
This Act takes effect immediately, but implementation is delayed by up to 1 year to give the Board of Pharmacy time to implement necessary regulations. This Act does not affect current law regarding the use of statewide protocols, standing orders, or collaborative practice agreements.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 AND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PHARMACY AND PHARMACISTS. |
| SB 322 | Passed | Sokola | This Act repeals the ability of school districts to increase tax rates by up to 10% when recalculating the district’s rate of taxation after a general reassessment. This Act does not repeal the requirement under § 1916(b) of Title 14 that a school district recalculate the district’s rate of taxation after a general reassessment, but instead of the 10% maximum, limits the amount of money a district can collect as a result of increases in the fair market value of real property to an amount that is equal to or less than the sum of all of the following:
1. The actual operating revenue derived by the tax levied in the fiscal year immediately preceding the general reassessment.
2. A percentage that is equal to the average growth rate in taxable property in the district since the previous reassessment.
This Act also allows school districts to increase a tax approved in a referendum election under Chapter 19 of Title 14 by up to 2% annually without a referendum if the district’s operational reserve balance is not more than 10% of the district’s annual revenue and it is not the same fiscal year that the rate of taxation is recalculated after a general reassessment. This authority will allow school districts to maintain services for students by gradually adjusting to challenges such as inflation, enrollment changes, and increased student needs.
Under this Act, the new recalculation equation under § 1916(b) of Title 14 applies beginning for the fiscal year following the next general reassessment and a school district cannot begin to increase tax rates by no more than 2% without a referendum until after the next general reassessment or for fiscal year 2031, whichever is earlier.
This Act does not do any of the following:
• Allow school districts to levy an additional tax that is more than 2% without an approved referendum.
• Change the differences under current law for tax rates for vocational-technical districts. Under current law and this Act, vocational-technical districts are required to use the same calculations as other school districts when recalculating the rate of taxation after a general reassessment. However, the tax authority for vocational-technical districts is under Chapter 26 of Title 14, not Chapter 19, so the authority to annually increase a tax rate by 2% does not apply to vocational-technical districts.
This Act also makes the following corresponding and technical changes to Chapter 19 of Title 14:
• Revises the definitions in § 1901 by adding “general reassessment” and “reassessed” as defined terms and updates the definition of “district” to reflect current school district boundaries.
• Clarifies that if Chapter 26 applies to a school district, the ability of a district to levy an additional tax under § 1902(a) does not apply to that district.
• Technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. | ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LOCAL SCHOOL TAXES. |

| HB 458 w/ HA 1 | Committee | Lynn | This Act prohibits counties and municipalities from requiring the use of water backflow preventers in certain types of low hazard buildings. In doing so, this Act reduces costs for businesses and single-family residential homeowners by exempting them from backflow preventer installation and inspection requirements in buildings where backflow does not pose a risk to fresh water or drinking water. Buildings deemed low hazard will nonetheless be required to have backflow preventers if they have fresh water supplied by a public well.
Under § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution, this Act requires a two-thirds majority vote because it involves indirect changes to municipal charters. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO BACKFLOW. |
| SS 1 for SB 319 | Passed | Poore | This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 319 and makes all of the following changes:
1. Changes the definition of “hormone replacement therapy” to clarify that hormone replacement therapy must be approved by the United States Food and Drug and Administration.
2. Removes pellet medication from the definition of “hormone replacement therapy” because it is not currently approved by the United States Food and Drug and Administration for treating menopause or perimenopause.
3. Makes technical corrections.
Like Senate Bill No. 319, this substitute requires individual health insurance plans, group and blanket health insurance plans, the state employee health plan, and state Medicaid insurance to cover medically necessary diagnostic services and treatment for menopause, perimenopause, and symptoms of menopause or perimenopause, including all of the following:
1. Consultation and diagnostic testing.
2. Hormonal therapies, including hormone replacement therapy and bioidentical hormone treatments, that are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
3. Non-hormonal treatments, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, neurokinin B antagonists, and other medications to manage menopause symptoms.
4. All drugs, devices, and combination products approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
5. Therapy to treat menopause induced by a hysterectomy.
6. Behavioral health care services.
7. Pelvic floor physical therapy.
8. Bone health treatments due to hormonal changes related to menopause and perimenopause, including screenings and medications.
9. Preventative services for early detection and treatment of health conditions related to menopause and perimenopause, including osteoporosis and cancer.
10. Counseling and education regarding menopause management.
Additionally, an insurer or carrier must provide clear and accessible information about covered diagnostic services and treatment for menopause, perimenopause, and menopause and perimenopause symptoms to each covered individual or Medicaid recipient. Menopause and perimenopause diagnostic and treatment benefits or assistance must be provided to the same extent as benefits or assistance for other medical conditions, but coverage for medically necessary hormone replacement therapy provided under this Act may not be any of the following, except as otherwise provided by federal Medicaid law:
1. Denied or limited, if the use of the hormone replacement therapy is supported by national clinical guidelines, national standards of care, or peer-reviewed medical literature for the treatment of menopause, perimenopause, or menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
2. Subject to prior authorization or step therapy requirements.
The Act provides a religious exemption for group and blanket health policies. If the coverage requirement conflicts with a religious employer’s bona fide religious beliefs or practices, the religious employer may request a coverage exclusion for the coverage required under Section 2 of this Act and an insurer shall grant the exclusion. A religious employer who is granted an exclusion must give its employees reasonable and timely notice of the exclusion.
This Act applies to all policies, contracts, or certificates that are issued, renewed, modified, altered, amended, or reissued after December 31, 2027. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18, TITLE 29, AND TITLE 31 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO COVERAGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES AND TREATMENT FOR MENOPAUSE, PERIMENOPAUSE, AND MENOPAUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS. |

The resolution requires that the study consider how any recommended program may be funded through Delaware’s federal Rural Health Transformation Program award and implemented through or in coordination with the competitive awards made by the Department of Health and Social Services under that program, so that the program complements, rather than duplicates, the State’s ongoing healthcare workforce initiatives.
This resolution also directs the Department of Labor to consult with stakeholders to make recommendations for degreed apprenticeship programs beyond healthcare and requires the Department to submit a report of its findings to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Division of Legislative Services by May 1, 2027.
