An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Oil Pollution Liability. [HB-32]
This legislation updates and streamlines the State’s Oil Pollution Act by eliminating a monetary cap for liability for damages, and requires that a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (COFR) be issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, pursuant to the requirements of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. Section 2701et seq., and regulations promulgated thereunder, instead of the issuance of a COFR by the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and therefore eliminating duplicative state and federal requirements.

An Act To Amend Title 22 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Municipalities. [HB-333]
11(a), Article VIII, of the Delaware Constitution provides that “No tax … may be imposed or levied except pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly adopted with the concurrence of three-fifths of all members of each House.” A recent Chancery Court opinion has limited this section of the Delaware Constitution by allowing a municipality to impose a tax through an “all powers” clause in a municipal charter even if there is not specific authorization by an Act of the General Assembly to impose such a tax. This bill makes it clear that a municipality

An Act To Amend Title 11 And Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Criminal History Background Checks In Connection With The Sale Or Transfer Of Firearms. [HB-35]
Federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) are required to perform criminal history background checks on prospective firearms purchasers. However, when the sale or transfer of a firearm does not involve a licensed dealer, no background check is required. This is an enormous loophole—one in which convicted felons, minors and other prohibited purchasers can readily avoid background checks and more easily acquire guns. This bill would require that a criminal history background check be performed in connection with the sale or transfer of all firearms,
