HB 239 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 9 OF ARTICLE II OF THE DELAWARE CONSTITUTION RELATING TO LEGISLATIVE RULES OF PROCEEDINGS.

HB 239 is a proposed constitutional amendment to Delaware's Constitution that would change the voting requirement for suspending legislative rules. Specifically, it would require a three-fifths vote (instead of a simple majority) in the Delaware General Assembly to suspend the rules governing legislative proceedings. This change directly affects how state legislators can modify procedural rules during committee or floor debates. The bill, introduced on December 18, 2025, is currently under review by the House Administration Committee and has not yet been enacted.
