An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Classification Of Certain Minor Traffic Offenses. [HB-21]
This Bill designates minor traffic offenses as violations, most of which 4102 of Title 21 of the Code currently classifies, by default, as misdemeanors since Title 21 generally does not designate offenses as violations, misdemeanors or felonies. The purpose of this Bill is to make the designations for traffic offenses proportional to the seriousness of the offense. An additional purpose of this Bill is to ensure that no one loses an employment opportunity solely because the person has a “misdemeanor” conviction due to a traffic offense that should (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Crimes And Criminal Procedure. [HB-226]
This bill increases the penalties for carrying a concealed deadly weapon, when the weapon is a firearm, by reclassifying what is currently a class G felony as a class D violent felony. The bill also deletes a penalty provision that is unnecessary and duplicative, since any person previously convicted of a violation of section 1442 is also a person prohibited under section 1448 of Title 11. Furthermore, the bill makes corresponding changes to other statutes.
