An Act To Amend Title 11 Relating To Illegal Purchases Of Firearms. [HB-174]
This Act raises the first offense of purchasing or obtaining a firearm for someone not legally qualified to own, possess or purchase one from a Class F to a Class E Felony.

An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Taxes On Personal Income. [HB-240]
Sections 1 and 7 of this Act update from $400 to $800 the threshold which triggers the penalty for insufficient payment of estimated tax. The current threshold has been in place since 2000.

Sections 1and 7 also provide for an inflation adjustment for the threshold ensuring (continued...)
