HB224: An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Definitions For The Delaware Criminal Code.

Legislative Summary

This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 224. Like House Bill No. 224, this Act narrows the meaning of firearm for purposes of the Delaware Criminal Code by more closely aligning the definition of firearm with the definition in the federal criminal background check law. The reference to a BB gun is no longer necessary because a BB gun does not use an explosive force to propel a projectile.
