This Act raises the first offense of purchasing or obtaining a firearm for someone not legally qualified to own, possess or purchase one from a Class F to a Class E Felony.

An Act To Amend Title 23 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Board Of Pilot Commissioners. [HB-184]
This bill adds to the requirements for licensure as a River Pilot Apprentice that an applicant not have been convicted of a crime substantially related to the practice of river piloting.

This language tracks that which is already included in most Title 24 boards statutes.
