DE HB323

Requires all settlement and judgment funds received by the State or State agencies exceeding $75,000 to be deposited into the General Fund and remain unexpended until appropriated by the General Assembly.

Prohibits the Attorney General and subordinates from including settlement terms that authorize expenditure of funds to any person except parties to the dispute, consumers entitled to refunds or damages, or attorneys awarded fees.

Excludes specific receipts and moneys already designated in Delaware Code, including funds under Title 6 § 2527 and Title 16 § 137, from these restrictions.

Requires the Attorney General to submit copies of settlements exceeding $75,000 to the Controller General within 60 days and file written reports with the Joint Finance Committee at least 30 days before disbursement.

Does not affect the Attorney General's authority to negotiate settlements but applies only to executed settlement agreements and final court orders.
