Official Summary Text

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PROBATION AND SENTENCING PROCEDURES.
This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 8. Like Senate Bill No. 8, this Act codifies the standard conditions of probation to be used by the courts and the Department of Correction. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 8 by doing all of the following:
(1) Making clear that an individual on probation who is a person prohibited under § 1448 of Title 11 of the Delaware Code may not own, possess, or be in control of a firearm or deadly weapon.
(2) Making a technical correction.
(3) Adding additional standard conditions requiring the individual on probation to not possess or consume a controlled substance, to be subject to testing for a controlled substance, and to comply with a curfew established by the individual’s probation and parole officer.
