HB 5 has been removed from the agenda for tomorrow’s committee meeting. It is likely the bill will be added to the agenda for next Wednesday afternoon (04/01/15). We will alert Delaware members when we have confirmation.

Delaware Call to Action updated 3-28-15:
Two amendments have been offered to HB 5. HA 1 would carve out an exemption for vapor retail shops. HA 2, on the other hand, would limit that exemption to a two-year period. Although this is clearly a step in the right direction, HA 2 is unacceptable. Furthermore, despite an exemption for vapor shops, HB 5 would still force thousands of businesses and workplaces in Delaware to prohibit vaping indoors regardless of what they might feel is the best policy for their establishment.
At this time, we are continuing to recommend our Delaware members to oppose HB 5. If you have not done so already, please take this opportunity to send an email to your state representatives urging them to oppose HB 5 and any bills that would limit where smoke-free vapor products can be used by adults.

HB 5 has been placed on the Senate Agenda for Thursday, June 11th, 2015.
Although it is encouraging to hear that an amendment would allow some businesses to continue to allow vaping in their establishments, we are still recommending that Delaware members oppose HB 5. This bill would still prohibit vaping in thousands of public indoor places thereby dangerously misrepresenting the risks of vapor products to the public.

Passing the bill simply pasified the ANTZ and added another Hole to toss in money from hard working people through an unjust law and Fines.
It should be Mandatory to show Proof of claims before dictating law.

Ah yes, Delaware. The home of DuPont ... 
Of course the politicians are concerned about exposing the public to chemicals ...
When I was growing up in NJ, we used to wonder what color DuPont would make the river that day ...
