HB 385 Summary

• Corrects terminology and formatting issues to conform to Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual standards, including standardizing "911" references and updating language respectful to persons with disabilities.

• Fixes substantive interpretation errors such as clarifying that "licensed premises" location (not license location) applies to marijuana licensing distance requirements and correcting inaccurate statutory cross-references.

• Implements legislative intent from 2023 bills where language was improperly struck or inserted without proper markup in the original enactment (e.g., HB 2, HB 165, SB 141).
