An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Licensure For Plumbing Contractors And Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, And Refrigeration Contractors [HB-377]
This bill addresses an inequity in licensing procedures for out of state contractors in the plumbing and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and air refrigeration (“HVACR”) fields. Currently a licensed contractor from any state can obtain a Delaware plumbing or HVACR license by simply paying a fee and proving that the contractor is licensed elsewhere.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Regulatory Flexibility Act And The Administrative Procedures Act. [HB-390]
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy in Delaware. In fact, 80% of the companies in Delaware employ less than 20 employees, according to recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The goal of regulatory flexibility is to foster a climate for entrepreneurial success so that small businesses will continue to create jobs, produce innovative new products and services, bring more Americans into the economic mainstream, and broaden the tax base. In 2002, the Office of Advocacy presented state model legislation, patterned after the federal (continued...)
