JUDICIAL 1
Section 22. Court Facilities Improvement Working Group. Recognizing that there are critical unmet 2
court space needs statewide, including addressing operational deficiencies of the Family Court facilities in Sussex and 3
Kent Counties, and other downstate court facilities, as identified in the Southern Court Facilities Space Study 4
(October 31, 2006), a court facilities improvement working group shall be established, consisting of representatives 5
from the Judicial Branch, the Office of the Governor, the Office of Management and Budget, including Facilities 6
Management, and the Office of the Controller General, to develop a plan for implementing flexible, cost-effective 7
and potentially innovative solutions to these and other court facility space issues. The working group shall engage 8
with the Delaware State Bar Association to obtain input from practitioners who practice in the affected courts 9
regarding the best manner to ensure that litigants have access to high-quality, dignified, and safe courthouses within 10
reasonable proximity to their residences, and what combination of courthouses will accomplish that goal in the 11
manner most cost-effective to taxpayers in the long term. For the same reason, the working group will obtain input 12
from other state agencies that provide services related to litigants in the affected courts, to consider whether the co-13
location of offices would be helpful to those receiving services and be more efficient for state taxpayers in the long 14
term. 15
Section 23. Kent and Sussex County Judicial Court Facilities. (a) The Section 1 Addendum of this Act 16
includes an appropriation of $34,320,000 $25,000,000 for Kent and Sussex Family Court Facilities. The Section 1 17

spending authority to be used toward preliminary costs, including planning and design, architectural and engineering 20
work, construction costs and costs associated with relocating the Department of Justice offices. Efficiencies shall be 21
achieved in this process through the combining of planning, design, architectural and engineering work for both 22
facilities, in all circumstances where combined efforts are appropriate and will likely achieve cost savings to the 23
overall project. 24
(b) Of this amount, $3,610,000 shall be used for the acquisition of tax parcel ID # 135 -19.08- 154.00, 135-25
19.08-146.01, and 135-15.17-148.00 for final space and utility relocations. 26 20

below the minimum wage rate. This wage rate shall be recognized by the Department of Labor as “OMB Pilot 12
Program Coop Student Rate” in lieu of a Prevailing Wage rate on the pilot project. This Student Rate is applicable to 13
this pilot project only. 14

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE 1
Section 63. Bond Proceeds Reimbursement. Unless not permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 2
as amended (the Code), whenever the General Assembly authorizes the issuance of the State’s General Obligation 3
bonds or the Delaware Transportation Authority’s (the Authority) revenue bonds to finance the costs of specific 4
capital projects, it is the intent of the General Assembly that the interest on such bonds shall not be included in gross 5
income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code, and the United States Treasury Regul ations 6
(the Regulations) thereunder as they may be promulgated from time to time, or shall be qualified as Build America 7
Bonds pursuant to the Code and the Regulations . Pursuant to the State's budget and financial policies, other than 8
unexpected situations where surplus revenues render bond financing unnecessary or undesirable, no funds other than 9
the proceeds of such bonds, are or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long- term basis or 10
otherwise set aside by the State to pay the costs of such specific capital projects. Pursuant to the Authority’s budget 11
and financial policies, it is expected that approximately 50 percent of the costs of its capital projects shall be funded 12
on a long- term basis from the proceeds of such bonds. However, after the authorization of such bonds but prior to 13
their issuance, non-bond funds from the State’s General Fund or the Authority’s Transportation Trust F und or other 14
funds may be advanced on a temporary basis to pay a portion of the costs of such specific capital projects. In that 15
event, it is expected that these non-bond funds will be reimbursed from the proceeds of such bonds when they are 16
issued. This reimbursement may cause a portion of such bonds to become reimbursement bonds within the meaning 17
of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations. Under those Regulations, to preserve the exclusion of the interest on such 18
bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, it may be necessary to make a declaration of official intent. 19
The Secretary of Finance is hereby designated as the appropriate representative of the State and the Secretary of 20
Transportation is hereby designated as the appropriate representative of the Authority, and each is authorized to 21
declare official intent on behalf of the State or the Authority, as the case may be, within the meaning of Section 22
1.150-2 of the Regulations, whenever and to the extent that such declaration is required to preserve such tax 23
treatment. 24
Section 64. Amortization Requirements. Issuance of any bonds authorized in this Act or any previous 25
