This Act clarifies the language enacted by Senate Bill No. 139 of the 150th General Assembly (“SB 139”) regarding when dogs may be permitted to run at large. This Act corrects errors in § 1325 of Title 11 and § 3048F of Title 16, by making revisions to conform the Code so it is consistent with the policy changes enacted by SB 139 and the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. Specifically, Section 1 replaces punctuation in § 1325 of Title 11 that was accidentally repealed by SB 139. Section 2 makes the following revisions to § 3048F of Title 16: 1. Redesignates the paragraphs in subsection (a) to avoid undesignated sentences, for clarity. 2. Deletes the definition of “dog” from subsection (a) because the definition is identical to the definition of “dog” in § 3041F of Title 16, which provides definitions for the subchapter that includes § 3048F. 3. Repeals paragraph (b)(3) because the exception for dogs that are under the control of someone who is hunting was added to subsection (a) by SB 139. The repeal of paragraph (b)(3) was intended by, but omitted from, SB 139.
