The resolution was passed by both the Senate and the House without requiring a formal vote count.

Maddy summaryHB 397 requires the Delaware State Treasurer to create an annual report detailing travel expenses paid on behalf of state public officers.

The bill mandates that these financial records be compiled and published once every year to increase transparency regarding state spending. No other changes to existing laws or procedures are included in this measure.

This Act creates a new tax credit in the amount of $15,000 for Delaware residents, applicable to overtime paid under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act for compensation paid to workers that work over 40 hours in a week. The credit phases out for resident individuals earning $125,000 and joint filers earning $250,000, and is fully phased out for individuals earning $150,000 and joint filers earning $300,000.

This Act modifies the eligibility standard from 100% disability to 80% disability or greater for veterans to qualify for the credit against school taxation on qualified property and corrects a typographical error. Section 1917 of Title 14 currently appears in 2 versions in the Code because an unrelated change in the statute will occur in 2028. This Act therefore contains both versions of the Code to indicate the intention that the change made by this Act will persist through the unrelated 2028 scheduled statutory change.

This Concurrent Resolution designates April 22, 2026, as "4-H Day" in the State of Delaware and calls upon Delaware's citizens to recognize the many contributions of the State's 4-H programs.

Like Senate Bill No. 251, this Act protects the life of the unborn child at a time when the potential for the child to survive outside the womb increases, especially with the advancement of medical procedures. Specifically, this Act repeals the current sections of the Delaware Code relating to termination of human pregnancy and enacts The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 251 differs from Senate Bill No. 251 as follows: • The definitions section is moved to § 1790A of Title 24 and the legislative findings section is moved to § 1790 of Title 24. • Revises the definition of “nonviable” by clarifying that “nonviable” means the condition will result in the death of the unborn child upon birth or shortly thereafter and that “nonviable” does not include conditions with which the child may survive outside of the uterus with medical treatment. • The prevention of the mother’s death is the only exception to performing an abortion without determining the probably post-fertilization age of a fetus in a medical emergency or to performing an abortion of an unborn child capable of feeling pain. Under SB 251, there were also exceptions in both situations if the abortion is necessary to avert a serious health risk to the unborn child’s mother. • Makes corresponding changes to the definitions for Subchapter IX of Chapter 17 of Title 24. • Changes the due date for the first report required under § 1794A of Title 24 from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. • Removes the severability provision because § 308 of Title 1 makes any provision in the Code severable, so that the invalidity of a provision does not affect provisions that can be given effect without the invalid provisions. This Act also makes corresponding changes to § 1702 of Title 24, technical corrections to SB 251, and technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

Maddy summaryHB 330 proposes to amend Delaware's state laws to establish a Bill of Rights specifically for educators and education staff. This legislation would create protections for teachers and school employees related to their work within the educational system. The bill aims to define and safeguard the rights of these professionals during their employment in Delaware schools. It has been introduced in the House and assigned to the Education Committee for further review.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a concurrent resolution that formally recognizes Christian Holy Week and Passover within the State of Delaware. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or change government operations, but rather serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of these religious observances.

As a procedural measure, it does not impose any obligations or restrictions on individuals or state agencies.
