This Act Amends Title 10 of the Delaware Code by allowing automatic Expungement for Juveniles who choose to participate in the Juvenile Offender Civil Citation Program after one year of successful completion of the program. This Program was offered as a viable alternative for Delaware Juveniles who did not wish to have a criminal misdemeanor on their record, especially in a time when these Juveniles may be applying for higher education and employment. However, whereas certain lower-level criminal offenses offer an option for expungement, these Civil Citations do not, and can still be seen on the Juveniles’ records. This Act also obligates the Civil Citation Coordinator to notify any courts or law-enforcement agencies who possess records pertaining to the case to have the records expunged. Such courts and agencies are to provide written notice to the Coordinator to confirm the expungement was completed.
This bill expands the Commissioner’s authority to deny policy form filings that encourage misrepresentation, contain any unjust, unfair or inequitable provisions, or where the benefits provided are unreasonable in relation to the premium charged, to other lines of insurance not limited to life and health policies.

The Public Service Commission (“PSC”) has the exclusive supervision and regulation of all public utilities and over their rates. Public utilities under the Act include natural gas, electric, water, wastewater, and telecommunications. Propane is not included. Yet, for many Delawareans, propane is the only source of heat for the household. The reason that the PSC has supervision and regulation over all public utilities and their rates is because public utilities are necessary for the citizens of this State and supervision is needed to ensure that the rates for these utilities are not usurious and unaffordable for people in this State. This bill adds propane provided through a community gas system under a perpetual easement to the definition of “public utility” thereby given the PSC supervision and regulation over it and the rates charged by providers for it. For many residents of this State, propane, is offered through a community gas system under a perpetual easement. These easements are permanent and not only grant propane providers a perpetual right to enter upon land for the purpose of conveying propane, but also includes a provision that the propane provider be the exclusive provider of propane. These provisions are permanent and binding on every owner of the property in perpetuity. These “in perpetuity” provisions eliminate any competition for the provision of propane for these homeowners by prohibiting them from obtaining propane from any other provider even if that other provider can provide propane at a lower rate. By authorizing the PSC supervision and regulation over the rate of propane provided through a community gas system under a perpetual agreement, it ensures fairness in the rate for the provision of propane.
