HB 471: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 3 AND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CONTROL OF DISEASE.

The Department of Agriculture recently responded to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza impacting Delaware poultry farms in coordination with agencies and officials from Delaware, Maryland, and USDA APHIS, as well as individual farmers and independent contractors. In connection with that response, the Department received or drafted certain information regarding persons, animals, land, and emergency response plans that should be confidential. This Act will help to protect the safety and security of individuals, agricultural operations, and animals and avoid any vulnerabilities that disclosure poses on the control and eradication of disease among animal species. This Act also revises Title 29 to identify information regarding the control of disease as defined in § 106 of Title 3 as not being a public record under the Freedom of Information Act.

HB 465: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE ENTERTAINMENT JOB ACT.

The Delaware Entertainment Job Act is intended to encourage jobs creation, artistic endeavors and investment in the film, television, esports and videogame industry in the State of Delaware, and the attendant benefits for the economy and job growth.  Delaware is one of the only states in the Mid-Atlantic and country without some form of tax credit at a time when production of original content for streaming and at theaters is at an all-time high. Thirty-three states have some sort of production incentive.   This legislation will provide for a thirty-percent, transferable tax credit for an investment in the state in a film, television, esports or videogame production. All qualified productions will be required to have an audit of their expenditures following the completion of production in the state before any credits will be awarded. Further, all qualified productions will be required to provide training through an internship program so that citizens may be able to gain a valuable trade. The credits will be administered by the Delaware Film, Television, and Digital Entertainment Office in cooperation with Department of Finance.

HB 366: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENDITURES.

This Act requires a candidate’s political committee’s contribution and expense report, provided to the Department of Elections, to include the primary employer and job title of each person contributing to the committee.

The Act requires anyone who knowingly accepts an unlawful campaign contribution to pay the money to the State Treasurer for deposit to the General Fund. This Act also makes technical changes to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

HB 349: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TENANT OBLIGATIONS AND LANDLORD REMEDIES.

This Act allows a landlord to offer the tenant an option to pay a recurring fee in lieu of a security deposit. This option enables tenants who cannot afford a security deposit to find a rental. This Act requires landlords choosing to provide the option to one tenant in a multiunit property to provide the option to all new tenants in that property. This Act also establishes requirements for the landlord offering a tenant the option to pay a fee in lieu of a security deposit including the requirement to notify the tenant of their option to terminate the agreement to pay the recurring fee at any time and to pay a security deposit instead. This Act makes it clear that electing to pay the recurring fee does not eliminate, release, or limit the tenant’s liability for damages under the lease. The recurring fee must be of equivalent amount and payable at the time each rent payment is due. This Act also clarifies the rights and responsibilities of a third-party who compensates a landlord for damages or unpaid indebtedness pursuant to the lease. House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 349 differs from House Bill No. 349 by providing more detailed notification requirements for a landlord offering a fee in lieu of a security deposit and requiring landlords to use fees collected in lieu of a security deposit be utilized by the landlord to purchase coverage for landlord's losses associated with any unpaid amounts due from the tenant to the landlord pursuant to the lease, including rent, fees, or unit damage in excess of wear resulting from normal wear and tear, provided that a landlord may not charge a fee that is more than the cost of obtaining and administering such insurance.
