An Act To Amend Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Marriage. [HB-370]
The State Bureau of Vital Statistics discontinued the policy of registering clergy and ministers authorized to solemnize marriages more than a decade ago. Since that time, there has been no way of verifying the legitimacy and entitlement of persons solemnizing marriages under Delaware law. This Bill re-establishes the registration of clergy and ministers and transfers the responsibility for overseeing registration to the Clerks of the Peace of the respective counties. This Bill would require any clergy person or minister wishing to solemnize marriages (continued...)

An Act To Amend Chapter 17, Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Creation, Regulation, Operation And Dissolution Of Domestic Limited Partnerships And The Registration And Regulation Of Foreign Limited Partnerships. [HB-373]
This bill continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments of the Act. Section 1. This section amends 17-101(12) of the Act to provide, in light of the decision of the Delaware Supreme Court in Olson v. Halvorsen, C.A. No. 1884 (Del. Supr.

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...)

This Act also clarifies that the training provided for the S-endorsement for the CDL license is based on specific course content (continued...)

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.

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...)
