By exempting Delaware public schools from prevailing wage rates, the State could save approximately $15-30 million annually. There is a four (4) year exemption so the exemption can be properly evaluated to see the actual effect on the State budget and wage rates of construction workers.

This Bill reenacts provisions of the law relating to vehicles used for agricultural purposes which were inadvertently removed through the passage of HB364 by the 144th General Assembly.

An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Abolishing Jury Commissioners. [HB-151]
Jury commissioners were previously used to insure that a random and fair cross section of the community was called for jury service by manually reviewing the jury pool. Today, jury selection is a computerized process handled by a professional staff in the Superior Court and jury commissioners no longer perform this task. The duties of jury commissioners have been reduced to functions that can easily be performed by staff.
