An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article I Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Equal Protection. [HB-299]
This is the first leg of an amendment to the Delaware Constitution to provide equal rights on the basis of sex. There is no Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution. While Congress passed the Amendment in 1972, it was not ratified by the requisite number of states by the 1982 deadline. Delaware, however, was one of the first states to ratify the Amendment.

An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Related To Information Return Filing Deadlines. [HB-30]
This Act conforms Delawares deadlines for filing certain information returns to those established in the Internal Revenue Code.

An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Experimental Treatment Health Insurance Coverage. [HB-319]
This legislation creates a benchmark for determining when a treatment or service is no longer experimental or investigational. When Medicare determines that a treatment is safe for its population, commercial insurers in Delaware may no longer deny coverage on that basis. This bill will remove inconsistencies for properly-evidenced treatments between payers.
