SB249 - An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Captive Insurance.
Spiros Mantzavinos, William G. Bush, John Walsh
Last updated 3 months ago
3 Co-Sponsors
This bill amends Chapter 69 of Title 18 relating to captive insurance to provide the Commissioner with additional flexibility to approve those types of financial institutions that would be authorized to hold required capital and surplus of captive insurance companies. This change would recognize the current financial environment and practices of financial institutions and captive insurers. Assets can be safely held in financial institutions other than banks and do not need to be held in Delaware in many circumstances where the type of risk does not require it, and the Commissioner will be authorized to impose additional conditions on captives related to capital and surplus to ensure the solvency and efficient operations of captives.

SB245 - An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Residential Mortgage Foreclosure And The Office Of Foreclosure Prevention And Financial Education.
Russ Huxtable, Elizabeth Lockman, David P. Sokola
Last updated 4 months ago
20 Co-Sponsors
The Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Financial Education and the Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program were created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to assist homeowners at risk of foreclosure or already navigating the foreclosure process. Originally intended as temporary programs, the need for these programs is as critical as ever for those facing the loss of their homes. The programs have proven to be important resources in preserving home ownership and educating homeowners on their rights and responsibilities in times of economic contraction and in times of economic expansion. As a result of their successes, the General Assembly has extended the programs multiple times. It is clear that the need for these programs will continue for the foreseeable future. In recognition of this reality, this Act removes the expiration dates from the programs.
