This Act protects Delawares fresh water supply while also reducing costs for small businesses and single-family residential homeowners by eliminating the requirements for installation and yearly inspections of backflow preventors on low-hazard water users. However, an otherwise low hazard property that has fire sprinkler systems, in-ground lawn sprinklers, swimming pools, hot tubs, or similar systems connected to its fresh water supply will be required to install a backflow preventor.

HB328 - An Act To Amend Chapter 371, Volume 83 Of The Laws Of Delaware Relating To Motorcycle Safety.

Senate Bill No. 288 of the 151st General Assembly (Chapter 371 of Volume 83 of the Laws of Delaware) created a pilot program whereby motorcyclists are permitted to use pulsating headlights as a way to alert other drivers of their presence, without allowing the use of flashing lights that would otherwise be used on emergency vehicles. SB 288 contained a sunset clause providing that the pilot program would expire on January 1, 2025, unless the General Assembly took action to extend or remove the sunset clause. This Act extends the sunset clause until June 30, 2030. The main reason for the extension is that many motorcycle owners have and are continuing to replace their lights with LED technology... up until 2024 the technology of a modulating device was not available for the LED lights only standard lighting had that option. To be able to better see if the pulsating lighting is effective the pilot program should be extended to adequately gauge what the new LED systems effectiveness is.

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.
