This Act creates the Omnibus School Safety Fund (“Fund”) to provide funding to public and charter schools for certain school safety projects. This Act appropriates $65 million from the General Fund to the Fund in Fiscal Year 2023, which does not revert to the General Fund at the end of the Fiscal Year.

This Act's purpose is to spur economic growth in Delaware and create new jobs by giving a portion of the State's revenue surplus back to the taxpayers. Specifically, this Act cuts the gross receipts tax by 50%.

This Act decreases the Contractor Registration Fee for contractors who do not have a state contract and have 10 or less employees from $200 per year to $100 per year.

Section 20, Article I of the Delaware Constitution guarantees the individual citizen's right to keep and bear arms for legitimate and lawful purposes such as “defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.” However, not everyone engaged in business in Delaware readily accepts and honors those rights or the individual Delawarean's ability under the law to lawfully exercise those rights. This Act creates a Gun Owners' Bill of Rights that does the following: (1) Safeguards the rights of an individual or business entity from unscrupulous and discriminatory economic practices such as discriminatory pricing of products, goods, and services because the individual or business entity is a gun owner, hunter, or sportsperson. (2) Prohibits the creation, sale, or distribution of lists and information about firearms and their owners not otherwise authorized or required by law. (3) Prohibits discriminatory economic practices because of an individual's membership in hunting, shooting, or outdoor sports organizations. The rights and remedies contained within this Act for the protection of gun owners, hunters, and sportspersons are similar, if not identical, to those afforded in other consumer settings.
