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.

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fire Engineers, Chief Engineers, Deputy Fire Chiefs, Authorized Emergency Vehicles, Warning Devices For Emergency Vehicles, And Lighting Equipment. [SB-6]
Sections 1, 2 and 3 adds the phrase “deputy fire chief” to 21 Del. C. 4106(e) and 4307(b) since many fire departments currently have this position. Further it removes the position of “fire engineer” and “chief fire engineer” from the Delaware Code and substitutes the phrase “chief engineer” to unify the Code. Section 4 provides that flashing headlights for emergency personnel can be installed on vehicles by persons other than by the vehicle’s original vehicle manufacturer. Author: Sen. Ennis
