An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Tenant's Remedies Relating To The Rental Unit. [HB-60]
This bill increases the amount that a tenant may deduct from rent in order to have necessary work done on the rental premises if the landlord fails to repair or maintain the premises after proper notice.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Arrest For Violation - Liquified Petroleum Gas Container. [HB-56]
This amendment repeals Title 16 § 7204 in its entirety. This particular section prescribes a practice that is typically unused and handled through a traditional warrant process by charging a previous section of this chapter brought by a law enforcement officer. Additionally, the act of recovering a container possessed by someone other than the owner is more appropriately handled through the civil replevin process.

An Act To Amend Title 20 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Emergency Management. [HB-49]
This Act recognizes the statutory authority of the Governor to act in the event of an emergency or disaster. During protracted emergencies and disasters, particularly those lasting more than 30 days, good governance requires participation by the General Assembly to approve renewal of Emergency Orders. This approval requirement may be waived only when it is not possible for both houses of the General Assembly to convene a quorum. The Governor retains the authority to terminate Emergency Orders without approval when the emergency or disaster has passed. (continued...)
