AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 20 AND 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY REGULATIONS.

Summary

The bill lets the governor declare a state of emergency for up to 120 days and renew it once for up to 60 days, but any extension beyond 180 days requires action by the General Assembly. It also obligates the governor to give the legislature a written update every 30 days and sets rules for how emergency orders can be issued, amended, or ended. The changes are intended to balance executive authority with legislative checks during long‑lasting emergencies.
