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.

An Act To Amend Title 11relating To Sentencing And Good Time. [SB-320]

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...)
