An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Family Court's Criminal Jurisdiction.

DE HB122 aims to change the laws regarding the types of criminal cases that Family Court in Delaware can handle. This amendment seeks to clarify and potentially expand the court's jurisdiction over certain criminal matters involving families. The goal is to ensure that Family Court can address issues that directly affect family dynamics and children's welfare more effectively.

Supporters of DE HB122 argue that this bill enhances the Family Court's ability to provide justice in cases that impact families, particularly those involving children. They believe that specialized handling of these cases will lead to better outcomes for families and ensure that sensitive matters are dealt with in an appropriate forum.

Critics of DE HB122 may argue that expanding the Family Court's criminal jurisdiction could overwhelm the court system and lead to delays in processing cases. They might also express concerns that the court may not be equipped to handle certain criminal matters, potentially undermining the seriousness of those issues.
