The Commission will continue in its current form, but under the Department of Veterans Affairs rather than the Department of State, and it will continue to advise on the duties of the Department and make recommendations regarding the welfare of veterans in the State.

HB415 - An Act To Amend Title 6 And Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Individuals Who Are Experiencing Homelessness.
Sophie Phillips, Kyra L. Hoffner, Marie Pinkney
Last updated 6 months ago
13 Co-Sponsors
This Act ensures that all individuals, regardless of housing status, have equal opportunity to live in decent, safe, sanitary, and healthful accommodations and enjoy equality of opportunities. To that end, this Act sets forth the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness, many of which are existing constitutional rights, and creates a process by which the State Human and Civil Rights Commission and the Division of Human and Civil Rights may accept and investigate complaints of discriminatory treatment, attempt conciliation, and refer enforcement actions to law enforcement Internal Affairs if necessary. These entities already exist and administer Delawares Fair Housing and Equal Accommodations laws. This act is intended to prohibit discrimination on the sole basis that one is experiencing homelessness. It does not give preferential treatment to those experiencing homelessness, but merely prohibits discriminatory treatment.

HB147 - An Act To Amend Title 12, Title 25, And Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Uniform Real Property Transfer On Death Act.
Paul S. Baumbach, Kyle Evans Gay, Stephanie L. Hansen
Last updated 5 months ago
17 Co-Sponsors
This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 147. Like House Bill No. 147, this Act provides a mechanism for the nonprobate transfer of real estate. This is done by permitting an owner of an interest in real estate to execute and record a transfer on death (TOD) deed designating a beneficiary who will automatically receive the real estate on the owner's death without a probate procedure. During the owner's lifetime the beneficiary of a TOD deed has no interest in the real estate and the owner retains full power to transfer or encumber the real estate or to revoke the deed.
