This Act adopts the Interstate Massage Compact (“Compact”). The purpose of the Compact is to reduce the burdens on state governments and to facilitate and regulate the interstate practice of massage therapy by creating a framework for a multistate licensing program. The multistate licensing program provides increased value and mobility to licensed massage therapists, including military members and their spouses, and ensures safe, competent, and reliable massage therapy services are provided to the public. The Compact allows individuals residing in a state that joins the Compact (a “member state”) to apply, through the state, for a multistate license. A multistate license allows a qualifying licensee to practice massage therapy in all member states. Applicants for a multistate license must hold an unrestricted license to practice massage therapy in the applicant’s home state and must meet educational, national licensing examination, and background check requirements to qualify for a multistate license. Licensees must meet continuing competency requirements to qualify for renewal of a multistate license. Member states share information related to disciplinary actions against licensees, investigations of licensees, and anything that would disqualify a licensee from holding a multistate license so that each member state is aware if a licensee’s authority to practice is restricted or if the licensee is disqualified from practicing massage therapy. The Compact is effective on the seventh state enacting legislation to join the Compact. As of January 23, 2026, 5 states have enacted legislation adopting the Compact and legislation is pending in 5 states. This Act takes effect on the date of publication in the Register of Regulations of a notice by the Secretary of State that the Compact has been adopted by at least 7 states.

This Concurrent Resolution honors and recognizes the leadership and achievements of African Americans and urges the celebration of Black History Month.

This Act is a Substitute for SB 34 and differs from SB 34 in the following ways: • Moves the provision for lease termination to purchase a home from § 5314(b) of Title 25 to a new subsection (c) under §5314 of Title 25. • Does not make technical changes to § 5314(b) of Title 25. • Requires the tenant to give the landlord a signed agreement of sale at the same time the tenant gives the landlord notice of early lease termination to purchase a home. • Changes the notice a tenant is required to give for terminating a lease to purchase a home from 30 days to 60 days. • Clearly states that the lease terminates after the 60-day period. • Allows the landlord and tenant to agree to extend the 60-day period by signing a written agreement. • References that § 5514(c)(3) allows a landlord to deduct reasonable expenses, incurred in rerenting after early lease termination, from the tenant’s security deposit. This Act allows a tenant to terminate a rental agreement early if purchasing a home by providing 60 days' written notice to the landlord, along with a copy of the agreement of sale. The 60-day period begins on the first day of the month after the day the notice is given, but the landlord and tenant may agree to extend the lease termination date past the 60-day period by written agreement signed by the landlord and tenant. This Act also references that a landlord may deducting reasonable expenses incurred in rerenting the premises, up to 1 month’s rent, from the tenant’s security deposit as provided under § 5514(c)(3) of Title 25.

Chapter 35 of Title 19 prohibits an employer from improperly classifying an individual who is an employee as an independent contractor. Not only is this improper classification unfair to employees because it violates state and federal laws related to income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, wage laws, and workers’ compensation, it is also unfair to contractors who comply with Chapter 35 and these other employment laws. When employers who violate Chapter 35 are subcontractors who have not registered as contractors as required under Chapter 36 of Title 19, the Department of Labor (Department) has no recourse for enforcing compliance with Chapter 35. This Act makes a general contractor responsible for a subcontractor’s compliance with Chapter 35 by making the general contractor jointly and severally liable for restitution and penalties assessed against the subcontractor. This Act also allows the Department to deny, suspend, or revoke the certificate of registration of a contractor who contracts with a subcontractor who has not registered on any project. In addition, Section 3 of this Act makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

This Act defines, for purposes of this section, “county authority” as the Chief Financial Officer of the Office of Finance, the Director of the Department of Finance of Kent County, and the Finance Director of Sussex County. This Act expressly authorizes the county authority to compel the production of testimony and documentary evidence whenever a county relies upon, or defends its reliance upon, the income approach or cost comparison approaches to assess the fair market value of real property. This Act permits the enforcement of subpoenas by order of the Superior Court and permits use of the court’s contempt powers. This Act equates a corporate or business entity’s non-compliance with an order enforcing a subpoena under this section to abuse or misuse of corporate powers sufficient to permit the Attorney General to commence proceedings to revoke a corporate charter pursuant to Title 8 of the Delaware Code.
