SB299 - An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Officers And Employees.
Delaware - 152nd General AssemblyIntroduced by
Kyra L. Hoffner, Sophie Phillips

Under Title 29, Section 5805, no state employee, no state officer, and no private enterprise in which a state employee or state officer has a legal or equitable ownership of more than 10% (more than 1% in the case of a corporation whose stock is regularly traded on an established securities market) shall enter into any contract with the State (other than an employment contract) unless such contract was made or let after public notice and competitive bidding. However, the notice and bidding requirements do not apply to contracts involving $2,000 per year or less, provided that the terms of such contract reflect arms length negotiations. The exemption for contracts involving $2,000 per year or less went into effect in 1991 and has not been raised since. This act raises the exemption from $2,000 to $5,000 to take into account the effects of inflation. This act also deletes language in Section 5805(c) that is out-of-date.

SB296 - An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Antitrust.
Delaware - 152nd General AssemblyIntroduced by
Kyle Evans Gay, William G. Bush, John Walsh
Last updated about 2 months ago5 Co-Sponsors
This Act amends the Delaware Antitrust Act (DAA) (Chapter 21, Title 6 of the Code) to provide indirect purchasers who have been harmed by violations of the Delaware Antitrust Act the ability to sue for damages. Indirect purchasers of a product or service in the chain of distribution are often the ones who bear the burden of any overcharges from antitrust violations such as price-fixing. Direct purchasers and others in the chain of distribution of the affected product or service often have the ability to pass the overcharge through the chain of distribution to end users. This will align Delaware with at least 36 other states which currently allow for a cause of action for damages for indirect purchasers. Often, end users who make purchases in Delaware, primarily Delaware residents and businesses, are excluded from making claims against multimillion dollar settlement funds set up to compensate indirect purchasers for transactions made in other states that do authorize lawsuits for damages for indirect purchasers.

SB144 - An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Food Fishing Permit Requirements.
Delaware - 152nd General Assembly
Last updated over 1 year ago0 Co-Sponsors
This Act removes the language "in the capacity of Master" from Chapter 9 of Title 7. This language has the effect of prohibiting highly credentialed professionals who have earned the right to captain their own ships, via appropriate United States Coast Guard training, from being provided with a food fishing permit. Removing this criterion would make the existing requirements more flexible and allow families that rely upon fishing as part of their livelihoods to proceed unimpeded by time-consuming and costly requirements.

In 2017, the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), Public Law No. 115-97, suspended many itemized deductions from individual federal taxes until January 1, 2026, including the itemized deduction for costs to maintain membership in a labor organization. Senate Bill No. 72 created a tax credit for resident individuals equal to the annual cost, not to exceed $500, to the individual to maintain membership in a labor organization. Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 72 made the annual cost to a resident individual to maintain membership in a labor organization an itemized tax deduction, not to exceed $500. Senate Amendment No. 1 to SS 1 for SB 72 sunset this itemized deduction when the federal tax deduction for costs to maintain membership in a labor organization is restored.

This Concurrent Resolution designates May 27, 2024, as Brain Cancer Awareness Day in the State of Delaware. Brain Cancer Awareness Day brings attention to the experiences of individuals affected by brain cancer and empowers them to share their stories, which helps overcome stigmas, corrects misconceptions, fosters a supportive community for patients and their families, and helps patients and caregivers to navigate their journey with greater knowledge and support by sharing resources, support networks, and information about available services. Brain Cancer Awareness Day is critical to educating the public about brain cancer and to supporting research funding for effective brain cancer treatments including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and ultimately a cure.
