This bill amends Chapter 5, Title 11 of the Delaware Code related to the unlawful discharge of firearms within the State. The bill recognizes the potential danger of such discharges which occur during target shooting and other related firearm skill events when in proximity to neighboring residences and businesses, thereby increasing the risk of injury or death. The bill includes language to allow discharge of firearms under certain conditions, including the use of an artificial or natural barrier, allows for less required distance for archery equipment, and exempts lands designated as training areas by the Department of Natural Resources, the Delaware National Guard, the Department of Corrections, or other law enforcement agency which are primarily used for the training of firearms and firearm safety. This bill is consistent with safety zone language associated with legal hunting as stated in Title 7 of the Delaware Code ยง 723.

This Act is the second leg of an constitutional amendment to the Delaware Constitution to enable the General Assembly to designate who is responsible for providing notice of a proposed amendment to the Constitution and how the notice is disseminated. This change gives the General Assembly flexibility in the dissemination of the notice, particularly as technology advances. This Act also changes the timeframe of dissemination from 3 months to between 120 and 90 days. The first leg of the constitutional amendment was House Bill No. 130 of the 151st General Assembly, which became Chapter 147 of Volume 83 of the Laws of Delaware. On passage of this second leg by this General Assembly this amendment will become part of the Delaware Constitution

This Act is the second leg of a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the regular session of the General Assembly from extending beyond 5:00 p.m. on the last day of June, unless the session is recalled by the Governor or the presiding officers of both Houses. This changes the time beyond which a regular session of the General Assembly may not extend from midnight on June 30 to 5:00 p.m., which changes the time at which the presiding officers of both Houses must act to recall the General Assembly into special session. This means the General Assembly no longer has to remain in session until midnight to recall itself into special session. The first leg of this constitutional amendment was House Bill 411 of the 151st General Assembly published in Chapter 324 of Volume 83 of the Laws of Delaware. On passage of this second leg by this General Assembly this amendment will become part of the Delaware Constitution.
