An Act To Amend Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Background Checks For Child-serving Entities. [HB-266]
This bill addresses an on-going problem relating to background checks for employees, volunteers, and contractors of child-serving entities. Currently, a person working a child-serving entity who obtains the required background check must undergo another background check when that person obtains employment at another child-serving entity even if that background check had recently been completed. This put an undue burden on the employee and the State Bureau of Identification who run the background checks. This bill would allow an employee, volunteer, (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Common Interest Community Advisory Council. [SB-109]
The Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee approved a project to work with the Governor's Office throughout 2018 and 2019 to identify antiquated boards, commissions, and councils that need statutory updates or outright repeals. The Common Interest Community Advisory Council was identified as needing a modification to provide that the Governors appointments are Delaware residents, rather than members of the executive board, of a common interest community. This change will make it easier to fill Council vacancies.

An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Uniform Civil Remedies For Unauthorized Disclosure Of Intimate Images Act. [SB-169]
This Act adopts the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act. This Act addresses an increasingly common form of abuse that can cause severe and often irreversible harm: the disclosure of private, sexually explicit images without consent. Much of the abuse is carried out electronically through internet websites, social media, email, or text messages, making it an interstate problem that is particularly suited for treatment by uniform state laws. This Act provides a uniform, comprehensive, clear, fair, and constitutionally (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Driving A Vehicle While Under The Influence. [SB-184]
This Act clarifies Delawares driving under the influence (DUI) law related to intensive inpatient or outpatient drug and alcohol treatment for felony DUI offenders. The current law has resulted in differing interpretations regarding treatment; specifically, whether treatment must be completed while incarcerated (Level V) or at home confinement (Level IV), rather than at community supervision (Level III or Level II). This has resulted in extending incarceration for some offenders or requiring out-of-state offenders to reside in Delaware to complete (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Marriage License Application. [SB-194]
This Act removes the requirement that applicants for a marriage license state their race as part of the application process. Delaware is one of a small number of states that currently requires this information. In October 2019, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled that requiring marriage license applicants to provide their race violates the United States Constitution. In Delaware, the Clerks of the Peace, who are the points of data collection, have expressed support for this Act, as has the Office of Vital (continued...)
