House Bill 75: The second leg of a proposed constitutional amendment, this bill seeks to remove language concerning limitations on absentee balloting. The measure would also empower the General Assembly to enact new laws on absentee balloting by simple statute. As a proposed amendment, the bill requires a two-thirds (66.6%) majority for passage.
House Bill 150: Also known as the Delaware Marijuana Control Act, this legislation seeks to legalize recreational marijuana in The First State. Because the bill would create new taxes and fees, it requires a three-fifths (60%) majority for passage.
