HB218 - An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Commission Of Veterans Affairs.
Nnamdi Chukwuocha, Michael Ramone, Sherry Dorsey Walker
Last updated over 1 year ago
29 Co-Sponsors
This Act changes the composition of the Commission and further clarifies the definition of veterans as it pertains to this Section of Title 29. The Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs is comprised of members, appointed by the Governor, who represent specific veteran organizations. The United States Congress defines the Korean War Era as June 27, 1950 to January 31, 1955, and today most living Korean War Veterans are in their upper 80s or lower 90s. This amendment will redesignate the seat to an organization that is self-perpetuating and whose membership will continue on, and also serve to provide the diverse representation of all veterans. Also preserved is the ability of the current Korean War Commissioner to remain as a Commissioner until his term expires or that seat otherwise becomes vacant. The sole remaining active Chapter of the Korean War Veterans of America in Delaware is in the process of being disbanded due to lack of membership.

HB206 - An Act To Amend Titles 10, 11, 24, 29, And 4 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Police Officer Standards And Training Commission.
Kendra Johnson, Melissa Minor-Brown, Stephanie T. Bolden
Last updated over 1 year ago
12 Co-Sponsors
This Act revamps the Council on Police Training, by changing the name of the Council to the Police Officer Standards and Training Commission (or POST) and amending its powers and duties to: (1) more accurately reflect the dual role of establishing training standards for Delaware police officers as well as overseeing allegations of police officer misconduct and conducting hearings for possible suspensions or de-certifications; (2) untethering the Council from the Delaware State Police by deleting the requirement that the Director of the Delaware State Police Academy is responsible for education and training in connection with the Councils duties and responsibilities; (3) removing the requirement that discipline proceedings be tied to whether the employing department takes action against the officer and increasing the instances when discipline can be issued; (4) advising the Delaware Police Accreditation Commission regarding statewide accreditation standards; (5) issuing guidelines for local police oversight commissions or boards. The Bill improves transparency by increasing required meetings from two to four per year, clarifying that decisions of disciplinary panels are public documents, requiring that departments form public accountability commissions with non-officer members, and requiring a public comment period and an official website with publication of pertinent records and documents of the POST. By amending the definition of police officer, the bill also requires that officers employed only part-time are subject to the regulatory oversight of the POST. The Bill proposes that the Councils day-to-day functions be provided through professionals retained by the Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
