I reviewed the chapter lists of Title 1 (Chapter 7 Age of Majority), Title 4 (Chapter 3 ABC Commissioner), Title 6 (Chapters 12C Online and Personal Privacy Protection and 12D Personal Data Privacy Act), Title 11 (index showing no age-verification chapter), and Title 16 (index showing no age-verification chapter). I also checked the Delaware General Assembly legislation list for the 153rd General Assembly and the Attorney General's site for a consumer alert. A statute could exist in a title not yet reviewed (e.g., Title 24 Professions and Occupations, Title 28 Sports and Amusements), so this claim is limited to the indexes and titles actually searched. Confidence is 'contested' because an absence inferred from an index is weaker than quoted operative text.",
