An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Unattended Motor Vehicles. [HB-224]
Car theft was the primary impetus behind state codes prohibiting a motor vehicle owner to leave a car unattended with the keys in the ignition; a common habit to warm-up the vehicle during colder months. From 2013 to 2015, a total of 206 cars were stolen in Delaware due to the owner leaving the keys in the car while unattended; of these, 12 went unrecovered.

An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Attendance. [HB-24]
This bill requires a conference with the parent or guardian of a student who has been absent without excuse for 5 days from school. A needs assessment will be performed to determine what supports or services will help the student and family improve school attendance. Moving the intervention forward to the fifth unexcused absence rather than the 10th may help to improve outcomes for Delawares students and help prevent students from disengaging from the school community and dropping out of school.
