Section 1. Amend § 1448 (a) of Title 11 of the Delaware Code by adding a new paragraph “(8)” thereto, to read as follows:
“(8) Any person who, knowing that he or she is the defendant or co-defendant in any criminal case in which he or she is alleged to have committed any felony under the laws of this State, the United States or any other state or territory of the United States, becomes a fugitive from justice by failing to appear for any scheduled court proceeding pertaining to such felony for which proper notice was provided or attempted. It is no defense to a prosecution under this paragraph that the person did not receive notice of the scheduled court proceeding.”.
