An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention. [SB-300]
The State of Delaware currently requires lead poisoning screening for children at 12 months of age. Because many children are not yet sufficiently mobile prior to 12 months of age to have full exposure to potential lead hazards in their environments, it has become common practice in other states to test some children at higher risk for lead exposure at 24 months of age as well. This Act creates a formal screening process so that children at high risk for lead exposure can receive an additional screening test at 24 months of age, while children at (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 11relating To Sentencing And Good Time. [SB-320]
The ability of inmates to earn good time credits was a mechanism established to assist and encourage appropriate behavior by inmates while they are incarcerated. This general concept has been modified by the General Assembly over time to prohibit good time credit for specific offenses. Unfortunately, this ad hoc application has caused significant administrative issues to arise that are difficult to address with limited staff and is inconsistent with the original intent and purpose of good time credit. This legislation proposed by SENTAC will ensure (continued...)
