House Substitute 1 for House Bill 181

Lyndon D. Yearick
By Lyndon D. Yearick
District 34

From the 153rd General Assembly, this Act amends Title 19 by updating Delaware’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program by revising penalty timelines. While HB 181 initially delayed all penalties until 2029, HS 1 shortens that window: violations of §§ 3707 and 3708 (leave protections and anti-retaliation provisions) remain immediately enforceable, while other infractions become subject to penalties starting January 1, 2027. Employers who fail to remit employee contributions may be charged with wage theft under 19 Del. C. § 1102A(a).
