2025HB 153

Arrest and Detention Reform

2025 - Delaware Senate

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill eliminates the ability for private citizens to make arrests or detentions unless explicitly authorized by statute, effectively restricting traditional citizen’s arrest powers. CPAC opposed this bill because it removes a long-standing tool for private citizens to defend themselves or their property. The bill passed the Senate on June 30, 2025, by a vote of 17-4.
