An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Gross Receipts Taxes. [HB-495]

Additional State revenue is expected as a result of businesses having an additional $13 million to put back into the economy.

An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Protected Wildlife. [HB-67]
This act increases the penalties for illegally hunting wild turkeys. Delaware began its Wild Turkey Restoration project in 1984 with the release of 34 trapped birds from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont. To enhance genetic diversity and speed up the stocking of birds in all available habit, additional wild turkeys were acquired from other states, at a cost of approximately $500.00 per bird.

An Act To Amend Chapter 9 Of Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Family Court Of The State Of Delaware. [HB-77]
In domestic violence situations, family pets are often a barrier to a victim of domestic violence from leaving an abusive relationship. The pet can even become a tool of violence for an abusive partner or parent/ guardian who is willing to injure or kill a pet as a retaliation or as part of a pre-emptive strike designed to gain or maintain control by means of terrorism. This Act clarifies existing law to make clear that the Court may grant, among other relief, that a Petitioner be given possession of a family pet via a protective order.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Sale Or Transfer Of A Puppy Under The Age Of Eight Weeks Of Age. [HB-78]
Very young puppies learn bite inhibition and appropriate play behaviors during the 5th to 8th week with the mom and littermates. Puppies who are separated before this age are much more at risk for serious biting behaviors and dog to dog aggression. Health considerations are also important. This Bill makes it unlawful to sell or otherwise transfer a puppy until it is 8 weeks of age so their natural tendencies will be mitigated.
