AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 AND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SUBSTANCE USE HARM REDUCTION.

Summary

The bill lets the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health work with state, county and municipal law‑enforcement agencies to create voluntary pathways that connect individuals to harm‑reduction programs and behavioral health treatment, both before and after an arrest. It also confirms that the Superior Court, not lower courts, retains jurisdiction over violations of a specific drug‑related statute. The changes aim to improve access to care while keeping legal oversight clear.
