Delaware 151st General Assembly

An Act To Amend Title 10, Title 11, Title 21, And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Fines, Fees, Costs, Assessments, And Restitution. [HB-244]
Recognizing the negative impact of criminal justice imposed financial obligations on defendants has led to reforms across the country to reduce the financial burdens that disproportionally impact the poor. This type of debt and the collateral consequences of suspending a drivers license negatively impacts the rehabilitation of those in the criminal justice system and pushes those without an ability to pay further into the system unnecessarily.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Crimes And Criminal Procedure And The Issuance Of Arrest Warrants. [SB-271]
The Justice of the Peace Court actively discourages the acceptance of warrants from citizens, yet the statute as it currently stands may be interpreted to allow such warrants.
