HB104 - An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Land Use Planning.
William G. Bush, Spiros Mantzavinos, John Walsh
Last updated over 1 year ago
24 Co-Sponsors
The states pre-application process for land use process, known as PLUS, was created 20 years ago and has served to increase coordination among state and local agencies. In doing so, it has fulfilled its intent of providing predictability and consistency for the development community, especially in the area of major projects. Given that success, this bill assists in expediting the process for economic development projects in the State of Delaware with some exemptions from the PLUS process. A project located in Investment Level 1 or 2 under the Strategies for State Policies and Spending that is consistent with local zoning and any local comprehensive plan that will create full-time jobs is exempt from the pre-application process unless required by the local government or requested by the applicant.

Jeffrey N. Spiegelman, Brian Guy Pettyjohn, William J. Carson
Last updated over 1 year ago
21 Co-Sponsors
This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 224. Like House Bill No. 224, this Act narrows the meaning of firearm for purposes of the Delaware Criminal Code by more closely aligning the definition of firearm with the definition in the federal criminal background check law. The reference to a BB gun is no longer necessary because a BB gun does not use an explosive force to propel a projectile.
