Summary
Official abstract published by the Delaware legislature· synopsis
This substitute to House Bill No. 139 grants the Insurance Coverage Office, which is tasked by statute with adjusting all claims and paying losses covered by the Fund, standing to participate in line of duty death claims. Like House Bill No. 139, this substitute also eliminates a requirement for the Insurance Commissioner to hold a hearing for every Line-of-Duty Death claim, and instead mandates they occur only if the claim is contested, and makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Drafting Manual.
