HB 399: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO 3-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS AND FIREARMS.

This Act requires that all 3D printers sold or delivered in the State be equipped with blocking technology that prevents 3D printers from being used to create firearms or firearm parts. All 3D printer manufacturers must submit to the Attorney General a sworn attestation that they have equipped a make and model with blocking technology in order for sales and deliveries of the make and model to be lawful in the State. Before the ban goes into effect, this Act directs the Attorney General to create a working group that will recommend the minimum safety standards a 3D printer’s blocking technology must meet in order to comply with the requirements of this Act. The working group must also determine the feasibility of requiring 3D printers include blocking technology. If the working group determines the requirement is feasible, the Attorney General is authorized to do the following: (1) Promulgate rules and regulations establishing performance standards for 3D printing blocking technology. (2) Facilitate the creation of a library that securely holds 3D files that are banned under this Act to be used in the creation of blocking technology. The prohibition on the selling or delivery of any 3D printer not equipped with blocking technology is effective 6 months after notice by the Attorney General is published in the Register of Regulations that final regulations to implement this Act have been adopted.

HB 416: AN TO AMEND TITLE 30 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE REALTY TRANSFER TAX.

HB 416 proposes to lower the realty transfer tax in Delaware by reducing the rate by one-quarter of a percent. This change directly affects individuals and entities buying or selling real property within the state, as they would pay less tax on these transactions. The bill achieves this by amending Title 30 of the Delaware Code, which currently governs realty transfer tax regulations. Once enacted, the reduced tax rate would apply to future transfers of real estate covered under the statute.

SB 338: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 9 AND TITLE 22 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TELECOM INFRASTRUCTURE.

This Act removes the cap on the amount of tax a county or municipality can levy on poles, wires, cable and conduit for distribution of telephone communication services. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a municipal charter, whether directly, by amendment to a specific municipality's charter, or, as in this Act, indirectly, by a general law.
