An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Special Funds. [HB-387]
This Act relates to police and fire pension funds created under Title 18 of the Delaware Code.

By way of example only, the average surviving spouse in the Wilmington Police and Fire retirement plan receives a pension of only $10,080, which is $1,090 dollars below the 2012 poverty level. Moreover, there have been only five (continued...)

This bill amends 4802(g)(2) to strengthen the state’s (continued...)

There are no substantive changes to the law created by this Bill.
