HB276 - An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Safe School And Recreation Zones.
Peter C. Schwartzkopf, Sarah McBride
Last updated 8 months ago
2 Co-Sponsors
This Act is a follow-up to House Bill No. 201, as amended by House Amendment No. 3 and Senate Amendment No. 3, which was passed in 2023. That bill originally repealed the offense of Possession of a weapon in a Safe School and Recreation Zone, which was not actually a separate crime but rather operated as an aggravator and sentence enhancement on certain underlying crimes, and replaced it with Possession of a firearm in a Safe School and Recreation Zone which is a separate and self-contained criminal offense. Subsequently Senate Amendment No. 3 was passed and attached to the bill. That amendment separated the school zone from the recreation zone offenses and was intended to reinstate the original sentence enhancement scheme for offenses in a Safe Recreation Zone.

Early, sustained exposure to peanut and egg proteins in the infant diet significantly reduces the risk that an infant will develop a peanut or egg allergy, saving lives and future health care costs. Following multiple clinical studies, the current guidance of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, which is followed by pediatricians, recommends that by age 6 months, all infants should be introduced to both peanut and egg protein and that unless contraindicated, all infants should regularly consume peanut and well-cooked egg protein until they reach the age of 1 year, to reduce the risk of developing peanut or egg allergies.
