Bill	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT.	This Act expands the definition of “prescription drug order” to include orders issued electronically. This Act also eliminates the condition on the issuance by a pharmacist, pharmacist intern or pharmacy student of a hypodermic syringe or needle without a prescription to someone who will self-administer medication or administer medication to a minor child by a parent or legal guardian, but only to persons age 18 or older. This Act repeals an existing paragraph in Title 16, § 4762(c) of the Delaware Code which makes it a Class G felony to deliver, dispose of or give away a hypodermic syringe or needle except as prescribed by Title 16, § 4762 of the Delaware Code. The Act also makes corrections to existing law to make it conform to the standards of the Legislative Drafting Manual.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	151	HB 157	Delaware HB 157 (151)	bill		enacted	Kyle Evans Gay Madinah Wilson-Anton	2	9	2	2021-04-20	2021-09-15	openstates	ocd-bill/38dcd1c7-3592-4b8c-9644-0986785eea79	https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=58598	1f4585110e1b147a6ea857a4c76c50c96abb00389fec2cebf48e8c522c77deb4	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-de
