HB329 - An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Operation Of Vehicles On Approach Of Authorized Emergency Vehicles.
Jeff Hilovsky, David L. Wilson, Daniel B. Short
Last updated about 2 months ago
9 Co-Sponsors
This Act addresses the growing concern over the safety of emergency responders. It increases the penalties for persons who violate this section, which requires drivers to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle making use of audible or visual signals, or a police vehicle using an audible signal only. The fines are increased and after two penalties, a person who violates this section will be subject to a 90-day suspension of their drivers license. This change in fines and loss of driving privileges increases the penalty to make this a serious offense. This Act also clarifies that a driver who is unable to safely yield the right of way must slow to at least 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit.

HB359 - An Act To Amend Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Personal Data Privacy And Consumer Protection.
Bryan W. Shupe, Brian Guy Pettyjohn, Gerald W. Hocker
Last updated 7 months ago
8 Co-Sponsors
This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 359. This Act, like House Bill No. 359, changes the applicability of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act. This Act differs from House Bill No. 359 because instead of applying all of the provisions of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act to the State government, this Act limits the application to the State government only for purposes of a consumer enforcing a right under § 12D-104(a)(6) of Title 6 of the Delaware Code to opt out of the processing of the consumers personal data for the purpose of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.

HB367 - An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Provider Advisory Board And The Extended Learning Opportunities Subcommittee.
Sherry Dorsey Walker, Kyra L. Hoffner, Kyle Evans Gay
Last updated 5 months ago
10 Co-Sponsors
This Act sunsets the Provider Advisory Board (Board) and is a result of the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee's ("JLOSC") review of the Board. The Board was created in 2011 at JLOSC's recommendation when it reviewed the Office of Child Care Licensing ("OCCL"). The original purpose of the Board was to advise the OCCL regarding the adoption, promulgation, and amendment of rules and regulations required to carry out the Delaware Child Care Act, focusing on early care and education, family child care homes, and school age centers. In 2019, the Board's purpose was expanded to encourage OCCL to communicate with providers and encourage OCCL to enforce the Delaware Child Care Act in a manner that recognizes that most child care providers are private businesses that need stable and reasonable regulations.
