Effective October 1, 2010

Effective October 1, 2010 the scope and Manual language for Code 855, Lumber and/or building Material Dealer and Code 935, Lumber and/or Building Material Deal - Store Employees have been clarified. The DCRB has always contemplated that in order to be eligible for Code 935, a store operation had to be a bona fide separate enterprise. This requirement is now being made a part of the Manual language. Clarification has also been made to the language for Code 607, Drilling - By Contractors. Review has shown there is no oil and/or gas well drilling in Delaware, nor is there any tangible prospect of such activities being conducted in the future. For this reason, all Guide entries relating to oil or gas drilling or to oil or gas well services have been deleted. Code 981 has been retitled to "Casino Gambling" to reflect the expansion of gambling options that may be offered in facilities subject to this classification. Code 968 has been retitled to "Sports, Recreational or Amusement Facility, Indoor" to better describe the class' scope. Class language for fourteen other classifications has been clarified in various ways.

Code 028, Oil or Gas Production, has been withdrawn as a Delaware classification pursuant to the finding above that there are no such business activities in Delaware, nor are any such activities anticipated.
