Current Federal regulations will not allow group home operators, funded by the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDDS), to be billed by DDDS for use of Fleet Services vehicles.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Specific Offenses. [HB-322]
This Act corrects a loop-hole in Delaware’s felony resisting arrest statute identified by the Delaware Supreme Court’s recent opinion in Watson v. State, No. 335, 2009 (January 6, 2010). In Watson, two probation and parole officers were injured by a defendant while trying to make an arrest for a probation violation. On appeal, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed Watson’s convictions for the felony offense of resisting arrest by force or violence under 1257(a) because the statute, by its express terms, only applies to arrests by police officers.
