An Act To Amend Title 15 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Campaign Finance, Reporting, And Disclosure. [SB-224]
This Bill requires political committees to report a contributor’s occupation and employment information. This is already a requirement in federal campaign finance law. If only a contributor’s name and address are disclosed (without occupation and employer), it is difficult to determine which industry, company, or group is funding a candidate. This will assist in furthering transparency and disclosure in the electoral process. It also addresses the obligation of the reporting candidate and treasurer.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Enhanced 911 Emergency Reporting System Fund. [SB-235]
This bill eliminates the mandate that the State pay wireless cost recovery related to 911. To date, Delaware is only one of a few states still accepting invoices from wireless carriers for cost recovery. The original intent of cost recovery was to provide the 911 center a caller’s location when calling from a wireless device. What is called Phase II calling (caller location) is in place and has been for a number of years. With cost recovery language still in the State statute, only two of the carriers have elected to use the funds for daily maintenance
