Sherry Dorsey Walker, Bryan Townsend, Kyle Evans Gay
Last updated 27 days ago
8 Co-Sponsors
This Act is the result of a successful pilot project involving disadvantaged business enterprises in State contracts. In 2023, Section 189 of Senate Bill No. 35, as amended by Senate Amendment No. 2, authorized the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to engage in a pilot program to include Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) as part of large public works projects. If an agency elects to award based on best value, this Act allows for projects, valued in excess of $30,000,000, to be scored using DBE usage of at least 10% but no more than 30%. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

SB256 - An Act To Amend Titles 6 And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Consumer Protection.
Kyle Evans Gay, Krista Griffith, Elizabeth Lockman
Last updated 2 months ago
9 Co-Sponsors
This Act clarifies the Attorney Generals existing authority to enforce the States consumer protection laws, specifically the Attorney Generals ability to pursue non-penalty civil remedies, such as damages and restitution, without having to show that a persons violation of a law or regulation enforced by the Department of Justices Division of Consumer Protection was wilful. This Act does not change the requirement that the Attorney General show that such a violation was wilful in order to obtain civil penalties from a court or hearing officer. Every other state that has a similar state of mind requirement in their consumer fraud law does not impose that state of mind requirement for non-penalty civil remedies. By harmonizing the language in the Consumer Fraud Act (Subchapter II, Chapter 25, Title 6 of the Code) and the Division of Consumer Protections enabling statute (Subchapter II, Chapter 25, Title 29 of the Code), this Act clarifies that Delaware is line with the other states.
