AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION.

Summary
This Act expands eligibility for the Department of Correction's Education Assistance Fund beyond correctional officers to employees who hold a position at paygrade 15 or below and meet the other existing requirements. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual, including by creating a new Subchapter III of Chapter 89 of Title 29, because the Department of Correction's Education Assistance Fund is not related to the topic of Subchapter II.
