HB 361 Delaware House · 149th General Assembly (2017-2018)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO VIOLENT FELONIES.

Summary
This Act removes § 617 Criminal Youth Gangs from the list of felonies designated as violent felonies and adds § 616 Gang Participation so that age is less of a factor in determining whether a violent felony was committed. In addition, this Act makes § 1103A Child Abuse in the Second Degree a violent felony. Further, this Act makes technical corrections by updating the violent felonies list to reflect § 1103B Child Abuse in the First Degree, which was formerly known as § 615 Assault by Abuse.
