HB356 - An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Concurrent Jurisdiction Of Juveniles Who Commit Crimes On United States Military Installations.
Nnamdi Chukwuocha, Kyle Evans Gay, Sherry Dorsey Walker
Last updated 4 months ago
11 Co-Sponsors
On military installations subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, the investigation and prosecution of juveniles for alleged violation of federal crimes is conducted in the federal court system. The federal court system often tries juveniles as adults and it lacks juvenile-focused resources. Federal law, however, permits the State to accept concurrent jurisdiction over juvenile matters on military installations if a request is made by a United States official and the Governor, via Executive Order, accepts the request.

Kimberly Williams, Laura Sturgeon, Sherry Dorsey Walker
Last updated 23 days ago

This Act codifies the teacher academy pathways program that prepares students for careers in elementary and secondary education. Among other things, it requires the DOE to update and revise statewide standards and guidelines for teacher academies and provide technical assistance to local education agencies to meet those standards and guidelines. This Act further requires that teacher academies offer (1) value-added credits to students who have completed the credits required by the initial program of study; and (2) work-based immersion options. Finally, the DOE must publish an annual report summarizing each teacher academy program in the State, including the number of participants in the program and the number of participants who successfully transition to a program or institute of higher learning in the field of education.

HB272 - An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Veterans' Benefits And Trade Practices.
Jeff Hilovsky, Eric Buckson, Sherry Dorsey Walker
Last updated 6 months ago
26 Co-Sponsors
This act regulates persons who receive compensation for advising or assisting with veterans' benefits earned by serving our nation in the military. This bill would not prohibit persons or business entities from receiving compensation for advice to Veterans that is unrelated to veteran claims or services available to veterans from the V.A. or its accredited agencies. Investment, insurance, banking, and other advice or services not provided by the V.A., or its accredited agencies may be obtained by veterans and fees charged for such services.

HB5 - An Act To Amend Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Reimbursement Of School-based Behavioral Health Services.
Valerie J. Longhurst, Nicole Poore, Debra J. Heffernan
Last updated 4 months ago
22 Co-Sponsors
The States Medicaid Plan still limits the reimbursement of Medicaid-covered, school-based behavioral health services to those provided under an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) or Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), despite federal policy changes that allow for these services to be provided as a medical necessity without IEP or IFSP documentation. This bill would charge the Department of Health & Social Services to apply to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for a State Plan Amendment that would allow for reimbursement of medically necessary behavioral health services without IEP or IFSP documentation. Local education agencies must use the reimbursed funds to further invest in school-based behavioral health supports.

SB200 - An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Property Insurance Contracts.
David P. Sokola, Paul S. Baumbach, Stephanie L. Hansen
Last updated 5 months ago
28 Co-Sponsors
This bill provides important consumer protections for property insurance contracts by improving the reliability of mailed notifications of policy cancellation or renewal. Section 1 of this bill requires insurers to deliver any homeowners notices of cancellation or nonrenewal by USPS certified mail or USPS Intelligent Mail barcode. Further, whereas currently an insurer can cancel or non-renew a policy because of two non-weather-related claims over the lifetime of the policy, this legislation provides a reasonable claims lookback period for non-weather-related claims, as is already the case for claims in other portions of this subsection of the Code. Section 2 of this bill precludes an insurance carrier from refusing to renew a homeowners policy based on non-weather claims unless 2 or more claims occur within the 36-month period immediately preceding the expiration of the current policy period.
