HB 323 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS.

Summary
This Act makes technical corrections to the Department of Finance’s existing background check authority to ensure access to FBI criminal history record information. The Department of Finance applied for federal “Rap Back” reporting and was denied, so the unacceptable language is being eliminated to facilitate access. Although the intended impact is the same, this Substitute uses different language than House Bill No. 323 based on feedback from the State Bureau of Identification and DELJIS.
