Human Trafficking

I was the author of Senate Bill 43, known as the Signs of Hope Act, which was passed into law in 2023. It provides definitions for some of the existing state facilities and categories of establishments where public awareness signs about where victims of human trafficking can find help.

 

I was also a sponsor of HB 264, which changed the offense of patronizing a prostitute from a class A misdemeanor to a class E felony when the person from whom prostitution is sought is a minor. This bill was signed by Governor Carney on August 29, 2024.

 

Film & Television
My first bill to pass both chambers and be signed into law by the governor was the Motion Picture and Television Development Commission.

Drug Prevention
I was proud to author the Delaware Youth Drug Prevention Curriculum Task Force resolution, which recommends the best course of action to convince our youth to stay off of drugs. I want to see evidence-based drug prevention curriculum in all our schools.

Pain-Capable Act
I was able to get my Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act into a committee hearing, but could not get the needed signatures from the committee members to bring it to the floor of the Senate. I will try again to protect children in the womb from D&E abortions.

Right to Know Act
My Women’s Ultrasound Right to Know Act would require doctors to offer mothers the opportunity to view their unborn child through an ultrasound, before making a decision about abortion. Women would not be required to view the images. This bill did not make it out of committee, but I will try again.

Other Key Legislation
Since being in the Senate, I have sponsored or co-sponsored hundreds of bills, many of which were bi-partisan.
