Last updated 5 months ago
5 Co-Sponsors
This is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 11. Like Senate Bill No. 11, this Act is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to modernize the bail provisions within the Delaware Constitution and clarify the power of the General Assembly to enumerate certain felony offenses for which, or circumstances under which, pretrial release on bail may not be allowed. And, like Senate Bill No. 11, any statute designating a felony offense for which a person can be subjected to pretrial detention without bail must be enacted by an act of the General Assembly that receives the concurrence of a two-thirds majority of each House of the General Assembly.

SB290 - An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Protection Of Wetlands.
Stephanie L. Hansen, Bryan Townsend, Debra J. Heffernan
Last updated 6 months ago
9 Co-Sponsors
This Bill institutes a State nontidal wetlands program and leaves intact the current State tidal wetlands program under Chapter 66 of Title 7. Prior to these amendments, the only regulatory protection of the State's nontidal wetlands was through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the federal Clean Water Act ("CWA"). Nontidal (freshwater) wetlands are valuable resources that contribute to the quality of life for all Delawareans and deserve a local program of protection. The State nontidal wetlands program will be more efficient and more responsive than the federal program. The State nontidal wetlands program will cover gaps in federal jurisdiction under the CWA and mitigate the uncertainty surrounding the limits to federal jurisdiction. The bill also makes technical revisions and conforms certain language to existing language in 7 Del. C. Ch. 60, for consistency.
