HB91 - An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Offenses Involving Property.
William G. Bush, Stephanie L. Hansen, Kyra L. Hoffner
Last updated 9 months ago
22 Co-Sponsors
This Act creates a new offense of Aggravated Criminal Mischief with enhanced penalties (class D felony) applicable when an individual knowingly damages or tampers with critical utility infrastructure intending to disrupt utility services. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI have issued repeated warnings about domestic terrorists and extremist groups targeting critical utility infrastructure. Bulletins issued through DHS National Terrorism Advisory System in 2022 warned of a heightened threat environment based, in part, on continued calls for violence directed at U.S. critical infrastructure. Physical and computerized attacks on electric utility equipment have reached a 10-year high in 2022. Recent attacks in Washington and North Carolina have caused substantial outages and damage to the power grids in both states.

HB285 - An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Medical Marijuana.
Edward S. Osienski, Kyra L. Hoffner, William Charles Paradee
Last updated 6 months ago
19 Co-Sponsors
This Act amends the Delaware Medical Marijuana Act by removing the requirement that a patient have a debilitating medical condition to qualify for a registry identification card, instead allowing health-care providers to make the determination of whether a patient has a diagnosed medical condition for which the patient would receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the use of medical marijuana. As a result, this Act removes the CBD-rich and compassionate use programs, which previously allowed for the use of marijuana for the treatment of conditions that otherwise did not qualify a patient for a registry identification card.
