An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To State Recognition Of The Lenape Indian Tribe Of Delaware. [HB-345]
Under this Act, the General Assembly formally recognizes the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware ("the Tribe") as an American Indian tribe, not only to acknowledge the Tribe's rich history and culture, but also so that the Tribe may be recognized as eligible for the programs and services that the United States provides to Indians because of their status as Indians. For example, the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act establishes the Indian Arts and Crafts Board ("the Board") of the U.S. Department of the Interior and authorizes the Board to establish

An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Funds Transfers. [HB-364]
The Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”) was originally drafted to govern only consumer wire transfers. As a result, 4A-108 of Title 6 of the Delaware Code excluded fund transfers governed by EFTA from the scope of Article 4A of Title 6 (“Article 4A”). However, in 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended EFTA (“Dodd-Frank amendments”) to bring remittance transfers that are electronic fund transfers within its scope. Therefore, under 4A-108 of Title 6, even a remittance transfer that is not an electronic fund
