An Act To Amend Titles 10, 11, 16 And 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Drug Laws, Crimes And Criminal Procedure, Sentencing Accountability, Courts And Judicial Procedure, And Motor Vehicles. [HB-443]

This Bill provides for a structured system of felony offenses, which would be 4752-56 of Title 16, in which the various considerations that are usually considered to (continued...)
