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.

This Act continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to keep it current and maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments to the DGCL. Section 1. Section 1 of this Act confirms that if a certificate of incorporation includes a provision that “opts out” of the class vote specified in § 242(b)(2) of Title 8 to increase or decrease the number of shares of a class of stock authorized for issuance, including a provision that requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock (or a majority of the votes of such stock) entitled to vote, that “opt out” will not be deemed an express provision that has the effect of “opting out” of the default provisions of § 242(d). Instead, § 242(d) will apply unless the § 242(b)(2) “opt out” expressly states that the corporation is not governed by § 242(d)(1) or (2), or the § 242(b)(2) “opt out” provision specifies a greater or additional vote to increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of 1 or more classes of stock. Section 2. Section 2 of this Act amends § 275 of Title 8, which addresses the dissolution of a corporation. New § 275(h) provides that the authority and responsibilities of the registered agent of the corporation terminate at the time the dissolution of the corporation becomes effective, except with respect to service of process that the registered agent has received before that time. New § 275(i) establishes procedures for the Secretary of State to accept service of process for a dissolved corporation after the dissolution has become effective. The amendments to § 275(d) and (f) require a corporation to include in its certificate of dissolution an agreement that the dissolved corporation may be served with process in the State by service to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Secretary of State’s rules and regulations. Section 3. Section 3 of this Act amends § 312(j) of Title 8, which addresses the revival of the certificate of incorporation of a nonstock corporation if the certificate has become forfeited or void. The amendments delete reference to actions taken by members of a nonstock corporation who are entitled to vote on a dissolution of the corporation. The provisions of § 312(j), when read together with § 312(h), contemplates member action only to elect persons to the governing body of the corporation if there are no such persons then in office to revive the corporation. Because no action by members entitled to vote on a dissolution is required for revival, the reference to these members is being deleted. In addition, because no member action is required to revive a corporation if there are persons then serving on the governing body of the corporation, amended § 312(h) also clarifies that member action will be taken for a revival only “if any” member action is necessary. Section 4. Section 4 of this Act provides that this Act takes effect on August 1, 2026. 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 the general corporation law.
