Delaware 145th General Assembly

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Specific Offenses. [HB-322]
This Act corrects a loop-hole in Delaware’s felony resisting arrest statute identified by the Delaware Supreme Court’s recent opinion in Watson v. State, No. 335, 2009 (January 6, 2010). In Watson, two probation and parole officers were injured by a defendant while trying to make an arrest for a probation violation.

This new chapter is intended to address the banning of possession of firearms by certain governmental agencies and entities of the State.
