There are presently at least 30 states that have a statute defining and protecting parental rights, or case law that interprets parental interests as a fundamental right. Delaware has neither. This proposal is the first leg of a constitutional amendment affirming that parents have a fundamental right to the care, custody and control of their children. The amendment contains two important protections with regard to government agencies asserting authority over children. The amendment would require government officials to prove that the proposed action was needed. If successful, government officials would be limited to taking the least intrusive means to accomplish their goal. This amendment would not shield neglectful or abusive parents, nor would it interfere with the obligation of government to protect the welfare of children. Since 2013, eight states have enacted laws defining and protecting parental rights. This measure shall be named the Parental Rights Protection Amendment.
This concurrent resolution remembers and recognizes the life and service of former Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner.
