AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 7 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND TRANSPARENCY IN PUBLIC HEARINGS.

This bill requires DNREC to be transparent and citizen friendly in how it conducts public hearings by returning to the pre-COVID in-person public hearing process. The bill requires DNREC to hold public hearings having a physical location allowing the public to attend and testify in person. These hearings may allow virtual participation in addition to in-person participation. All public hearings must be noticed for at least 2 hours of testimony and in no event shall testimony be limited to less than 1 minute per person.
