HB 95: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 7 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO IVORY AND RHINOCEROS HORN.

This Act prohibits a person from purchasing, selling, offering for sale, possessing with intent to sell, or importing with intent to sell ivory or rhinoceros horn, except as specified. A violation of this Act or any rule, regulation, or order adopted under this Act is a misdemeanor subject to fines, imprisonment, or both, as specified in this Act. In addition to the specified criminal penalties, this Act authorizes the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ("the Department") to impose a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for a violation of this Act or any rule, regulation, or order adopted under this Act. This Act authorizes the Department to permit the purchase, sale, offer for sale, possession with intent to sell, or importation with intent to sell ivory or rhinoceros horn for educational or scientific purposes by a bona fide educational or scientific institution if not prohibited by federal law. This Act does not apply to ivory or rhinoceros horn that is part of a gun, knife, musical instrument, or antique, as long as the ivory or rhinoceros horn component in the item is a fixed component of a larger manufactured item and is not, in its current form, the primary source of value of the item. The requirement that a bona fide antique be at least 100 years old is not a rolling time frame, but is to be a 100 year look back from the effective date of this Act. This Act takes effect 6 months after its enactment into law.

HB 468: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO WRONGFUL USE OF VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION.

This Act creates the crime of wrongful use of voter registration information. Delaware has no specific statute that addresses such a situation. Currently when there is a request for voter registration, the Department of Elections requires the applicant to sign a form with a sworn statement that the applicant will not use it for commercial solicitation or any other purpose not related to the electoral process. The applicant may be charged with perjury if they violate their affirmation. Nearby states Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have stronger restrictions. This act would allow a fine that would be equal to 100% of funds received from any use of the information or $1,000, whichever is greater, and makes it a class A misdemeanor.

HB 471: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

This Bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act extending and shortening certain time periods for parties to act and limits emergency regulations to situations affecting public health or safety. If an agency is found to have unlawfully adopted regulations, the agency shall be responsible for the complainant's reasonable fees and costs incurred in bringing such action. This Bill also specifies speaker-time allocation and what the agency is to do if more time is needed for parties to speak at public hearings. The purpose of the Bill is to simplify and expedite legal processes to review, stay, and adjudicate regulatory actions.
