Summary
This Act is a follow-up to House Bill No. 201, as amended by House Amendment No. 3 and Senate Amendment No. 3, which was passed in 2023. That bill originally repealed the offense of Possession of a weapon in a Safe School and Recreation Zone, which was not actually a separate crime but rather operated as an aggravator and sentence enhancement on certain underlying crimes, and replaced it with Possession of a firearm in a Safe School and Recreation Zone which is a separate and self-contained criminal offense. Subsequently Senate Amendment No. 3 was passed and attached to the bill. That amendment separated the school zone from the recreation zone offenses and was intended to reinstate the original sentence enhancement scheme for offenses in a Safe Recreation Zone.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Safe School And Recreation Zones.
