An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Falsification Of Business Records. [HB-369]
This Bill expands the offense of falsifying business records by including the act of altering or modifying and creating false medical records. Currently, no specific statute exists to prevent a person from falsely creating, altering, or modifying a medical record.

An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article I Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Equal Rights. [HB-399]
This is the first leg of an amendment to the Delaware Constitution to provide equal rights on the basis of sex. There is no Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution. While Congress passed the Amendment in 1972, it was not ratified by the requisite number of states by the 1982 deadline. Delaware, however, was one of the first states to ratify the Amendment.
