State Government / Delaware / Legislation / HB 322
This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 322 which permits employees of, or security personnel working for, a health-care institution, as defined under Chapter 25C of Title 16, or a medical or dental practice licensed under Title 24, for the purpose of summoning a law-enforcement officer, take any person presenting a security or safety risk at such premises into custody and detain the person in a reasonable manner on the premises for a reasonable time. This House Substitute to House Bill No. 322 differs from the initial bill as it clarifies the definition of health-care institution, medical practice, and dental practice.
