SB 192: AN ACT TO AMEND THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION.

A 2019 study found the following: (1) Black women are 80% more likely to change their natural hair to meet social norms or expectations at work. (2) Black women are 50% more likely to be sent home or know of another Black woman sent home from work because of her hair. (3) Black women are 30% more likely to be made aware of a formal workplace appearance policy. Delaware law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race in a variety of settings. This Act makes clear that race also includes traits historically associated with race, including hair texture and a protective hairstyle, which includes braids, locks, and twists. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

SB 204: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO START EACH SCHOOL YEAR AFTER LABOR DAY.

This Act requires public schools to begin their school year after Labor Day. There have been many economic impact reports done that show a positive impact from starting public schools after Labor Day. A report by the Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association estimates that $369 million would be lost if schools were not required to start after Labor Day. This includes $104 million in wages and $21 million in state and local taxes. Maryland is considering similar legislation. A study of Maryland found that pushing the start of school back would generate $74.3 million in economic activity and $7.7 million in new state and local tax revenue. This Act takes effect for the 2020/2021 school year.

SB 167: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO INSPECTIONS OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.

This Act requires that the State food safety standards include a system for grading and classifying inspection results that identifies and represents a food establishment's degree of compliance with the standards. This Act also requires that the Department of Health and Social Services form a stakeholder panel to provide advice regarding the content of the system for grading and classifying inspection results for food establishments, which will be effective on July 1, 2021. This Act also increases the fee for a food establishment permit for a public eating place to $150 effective July 1, 2020 to support the enforcement of the State of Delaware Food Code, including plan review. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

HB 278: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE POLICIES.

Section 1 of this bill clarifies that the reinstatement obligations of insurers under Section 3903(d) apply in instances of both nonrenewals and cancellations of policies due to nonpayment of premiums. Sections 2 through 4 of this bill revise the method by which an insured may contest or appeal a nonrenewal or cancellation of an automobile policy from a hearing process to a review by the Commissioner on the papers, which reflects the Department’s prior practices in handling these appeals and provides a more streamlined and efficient process for timely reviewing a consumer’s appeal.

HB 169: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS.

This bill changes the relationship between physicians and physician assistants from supervisory to collaborative, in recognition of the evolving role of physician assistants and reflecting the education, training, and experience required for licensing, which emphasizes the team-based practice model. The bill retains a 1:4 ratio of physician assistants to physicians, unless a regulation of the Board increases or decreases the number. This limit of 1:4 does not apply to physicians and physician assistants who practice in the same physical office or facility building, such as an emergency department. This bill increases the number of Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline members from 16 to 18, to include two physician assistant members appointed by the Regulatory Council for Physician Assistants. The bill authorizes physician assistants to participate as uncompensated volunteers in public or community events.
