SB81 - An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Wrongful Death Actions.
Delaware - 152nd General AssemblyIntroduced by
Bryan Townsend, Krista Griffith, Sherry Dorsey Walker
Last updated over 1 year ago18 Co-Sponsors
This statutory addition to Delawares Wrongful Death Act will permit the spouse, parents, children, and siblings of a deceased person to recover punitive damages when the actions resulting in the death of another person were maliciously intended or the result of willful or wanton misconduct by the at fault party. Punitive damages are intended to deter the at fault party from future similar conduct and to punish the at fault party for reckless conduct. Presently, an estate can recover punitive damages under a survival action pursuant to 10 Del C. § 3701. A survival action involves the death of an individual as the result of the at fault party where that individual suffers for a period of time before dying. Whereas, a wrongful death action involves the instantaneous death of an individual as the result of the at fault party. This led to cases where the issue of whether a defendant faced punitive damages depended not on the defendant's own actions, but on whether the deceased had suffered long enough for a survival action. This Act also clarifies the definitions of "child" and "parent."

SB285 - An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Residency Requirements For Justice Of The Peace Court Constables.
Delaware - 152nd General AssemblyIntroduced by
Darius Brown, Peter C. Schwartzkopf, Kyle Evans Gay
Last updated 5 months ago10 Co-Sponsors
This bill eliminates the requirement that Justice of the Peace Court constables reside within the State of Delaware. The residency requirement was established when Constables were independent officers, and had their own bonding requirements and penalties for failure to do the business of the Court. Constables are now employees of the Justice of the Peace Court and the residency requirement is no longer needed. The removal of the requirement will allow the Justice of the Peace Court to recruit from a larger pool of candidates and to retain existing trained and skilled employees.

Like Senate Bill No. 150, this Act requires included facilities have sufficient staff to meet the needs of each resident and requires dementia care services training for staff.
