Summary
Delaware HB 378 removes the sunset provision from a 2021 law that created a partnership between the Criminal Justice Council and the Council on Correction. The previous law, Senate Bill No. 129, had tasked the Criminal Justice Council with providing administrative support and training opportunities to the Council on Correction and included a 5-year sunset provision to review the partnership's effectiveness. Since the partnership has been successful, this Act allows it to continue permanently instead of expiring on September 17, 2026.

Official abstract
This Act is a result of the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee's (JLOSC) review of the Council on Correction. In 2021, JLOSC sponsored Senate Bill No. 129 of the 151st General Assembly, which, among other updates to the Council on Correction's statute, tasked the Criminal Justice Council with providing administrative support to the Council on Correction. This partnership was intended to provide the Council on Correction with needed staff support and training opportunities. SB 129 included a 5-year sunset provision to review the efficacy of the partnership. Because the partnership has been successful, this Act removes the sunset provision so that the partnership may continue. Otherwise, the partnership will expire on September 17, 2026.
