An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Volunteer Firefighters. [HB-406]
Volunteer Firefighters have been a valuable part of public safety to the citizens of the State of Delaware for over 200 years.

An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Educational Requirements. [HB-52]
Under current educational standards, cursive writing is no longer required to be taught to our students, and many schools have abandoned teaching it to their students.

An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Abandoned Personal Property [HB-68]
As the law stands now, following a writ of possession, a Landlord must store a manufactured home of the tenant that was left unclaimed for 30 days. Following that 30-day period, the home is deemed abandoned by operation of law, and the Landlord may dispose of the home as the Landlord wishes. However, in order to acquire title to the home, the Landlord must wait 1 year under Chapter 40. This bill will permit the Landlord to acquire title following the 30 day waiting period.

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The "move Over" Law. [HB-77]
This bill amends Delaware’s version of the “Move Over Law” by including vehicles owned or operated by a public utility, as defined under 26 Del.C., 102(2), that are performing roadside work, provided they have properly surrounded the vehicle with traffic cones. This will afford the same protection offered to Emergency vehicles and Tow Trucks under the existing law, but would not require utility vehicles to install and utilize signal lighting on its vehicles.
