During the 152nd General Assembly, House Bill 70 removed the death penalty from the Delaware Code. To continue on that effort, House Bill 35 serves as the first leg of a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the death penalty from being imposed as part of the Delaware Constitution.
Senator Kyra Hoffner follows in the footsteps of many legislators before her to oppose the death penalty, serving as the Senate Prime sponsor of Representative Sean Lynn’s House Bill 35.
