HB104 - An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Land Use Planning.
William G. Bush, Spiros Mantzavinos, John Walsh
Last updated over 1 year ago
24 Co-Sponsors
The states pre-application process for land use process, known as PLUS, was created 20 years ago and has served to increase coordination among state and local agencies. In doing so, it has fulfilled its intent of providing predictability and consistency for the development community, especially in the area of major projects. Given that success, this bill assists in expediting the process for economic development projects in the State of Delaware with some exemptions from the PLUS process. A project located in Investment Level 1 or 2 under the Strategies for State Policies and Spending that is consistent with local zoning and any local comprehensive plan that will create full-time jobs is exempt from the pre-application process unless required by the local government or requested by the applicant.

SB91 - An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Wiretapping And Electronic Surveillance.
Kyle Evans Gay, Krista Griffith, Kyra L. Hoffner
Last updated about 1 year ago
7 Co-Sponsors
Delaware law on the application to an authorized judge for the intercept of wire communications was written prior to the creation of the statutory divisions of Family, Fraud and Consumer Protection, and Civil Rights and Public Trust, within the Delaware Department of Justice. This would allow for the divisions leading, for example, sensitive fraud, public corruption, white collar, civil rights and hate crimes investigations to apply to the Superior Court for wire intercepts, and further makes clear that such investigations fall within the purview of the electronic surveillance chapter. Human trafficking is already included in the statute, but its investigations and prosecutions now fall under the jurisdiction of the Family Division.
