An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Realty Transfer Taxes And The Delaware Land And Water Conservation Trust Fund. [HB-470]
This bill increases the annual funding to the Delaware Land and Water Conservation Trust to adjust for inflation. These funding amounts have not been adjusted since 2001. The increase in funding also accommodates increased real estate costs, especially in coastal areas. This bill also allows the Open Space Program to access up to 7.5% of the Endowment funds 5-year rolling average, up from 5% to supplement purchases beyond the appropriated funds and to augment Program activities in years when the program is not fully funded.

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Consuming Alcoholic Beverages Or Marijuana. [HB-469]
While the consumption of marijuana while driving is an unclassified misdemeanor under § 4764(d) of Title 16 of the Delaware Code, this Act also makes the consumption of marijuana while driving a motor vehicle violation, like alcohol currently is.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Offenses Relating To Children. [HB-428]
All too often, persons who produce or transmit images of partially nude children cannot be prosecuted under our current statutes because our current statutes only criminalize images of a child engaging in a sexual act or if the child is nude.

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 60 days, good governance requires participation by the General Assembly to approve renewal of Emergency Orders.
