An Act To Amend Title 11 Relating To The Registration Of Sex Offenders. [HB-295]
This Act fills a gap regarding the definition of “residence” in Delaware’s Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (“SORNA”) that was recently identified by the decision of the Delaware Supreme Court in Andrews v. State. 34 A.3d 1061, 1064 (Del. 2011). Unlike many other jurisdictions, Delaware’s SORNA does not specifically define what would be considered a “residence” that must be registered. As the purpose of the Delaware’s SORNA is to ensure that persons are registered where they actually live or are located, this Act ensures that one must (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 15 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Enhanced Disclosure, Reporting And Disclaimer Requirements In Delaware's Campaign Finance Laws. [HB-300]
The Delaware Elections Disclosure Act would reform and modernize Delaware’s election disclosure laws, and would accomplish several things.

Under current law, persons who buy campaign ads that are not coordinated with any candidate (known as “independent expenditures”) must file (continued...)

School Based Health Centers exist in 28 Delaware high schools and provide convenient and effective health services to students.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Emergency Medical Services Systems. [HB-315]
This bill establishes the Emergency Medical Services for Children program within the Office of Emergency Medical Services, and places the committee chair on the Delaware Emergency Medical Services Oversight Council. This program addresses the pediatric specific needs of Delaware’s children in the Emergency Medical Services system. This program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) required performance measure, so its establishment will help preserve federal funding for the Delaware Emergency Medical Services Oversight Council.
