An Act To Amend Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Termination And Transfer Of Parental Rights In Adoption Proceedings. [SB-34]
This bill tightens a few areas in the termination of parental rights statute pertaining to children abandoned by their parents or killed or almost killed by their parents.

It also allows termination of parental rights, where the grounds can be proven, if a parent causes the death or near death of any child, and includes reckless conduct as well.

An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Foster Care And The Seed Program. [SB-41]
This Act would allow children who are leaving foster care to have access to the SEED scholarship, without the condition that they begin their higher education immediately after high school. This Act also allows them to attend school part-time. These exceptions are necessary because children aging out of foster care have the unique responsibility to support themselves and may not be able to follow the traditional timetable that children with the support of a more traditional family are able to follow.
