An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Freedom Of Contract. [HB-371]
Delaware law currently does not allow the parties in commercial loan situations to agree to require insurance policies be given to lenders as evidence of insurance on the collateral, thus inhibiting the freedom of contract. The purpose of this change is to allow parties to have such an arrangement be an enforceable contract. This change does not affect residential owners, who were the intended beneficiaries of the law.

An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Licensure For Plumbing Contractors And Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, And Refrigeration Contractors [HB-377]
This bill addresses an inequity in licensing procedures for out of state contractors in the plumbing and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and air refrigeration (“HVACR”) fields. Currently a licensed contractor from any state can obtain a Delaware plumbing or HVACR license by simply paying a fee and proving that the contractor is licensed elsewhere. Some states do not offer the same reciprocity, and instead require Delaware contractors take a written test, pay a fee, and satisfy all licensing criteria for that state. This bill eliminates the (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Economic Development Incentives. [HB-380]
This proposed tax credit intends to create incentives for existing businesses to partner with the State in the effort to create new employment opportunities for Delaware citizens, and to stimulate the Delaware economy by expanding the tax base. A finder’s fee, a tool used commonly by businesses, is an arrangement by which an intermediary finds, introduces, and brings together parties to a business opportunity. This bill creates a tax credit program that would award each Sponsor Firm and each New Business Firm with a $500 annual tax credit per Delaware (continued...)

An Act To Amend Title 15 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Elections. [HB-381]
Current Delaware law allows individuals 18 and older, and those who will turn 18 before the next general election, to register to vote through the Division of Motor Vehicles. This act would allow 16 year olds to register to vote through the Division of Motor Vehicle at the time they first apply for their driver’s license. Such individuals, however, will not be allowed to vote unless they will turn 18 before the next general election.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Department Of Health And Social Services. [HB-39]
Currently statutory anti-retaliation and protective provisions for patients and others only apply to licensed long-term care (LTC) facilities. Only part of the Delaware Psychiatric Center (DPC) is a licensed LTC facility. This Bill, to protect all patients and employees at DPC, applies such protections to all the DPC facilities.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Regulatory Flexibility Act And The Administrative Procedures Act. [HB-390]
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy in Delaware. In fact, 80% of the companies in Delaware employ less than 20 employees, according to recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The goal of regulatory flexibility is to foster a climate for entrepreneurial success so that small businesses will continue to create jobs, produce innovative new products and services, bring more Americans into the economic mainstream, and broaden the tax base. In 2002, the Office of Advocacy presented state model legislation, patterned after the federal (continued...)
