AN ACT TO AMEND THE DELAWARE CODE AND CHAPTER 168 OF VOLUME 84 OF THE LAWS OF DELAWARE RELATING TO THE DIVISION OF RESEARCH.
This Act changes the name of the Division of Research to the "Division of Legislative Services" (Division) to more fully reflect the tasks that the Division performs. In addition to legislative research, the Division's tasks include drafting bills, editing the Delaware Code, staffing task forces, printing bills and other materials for the General Assembly, providing constituent and legislator services through the Legislative Information Office, and publishing the Register of Regulations and Administrative Code.
This Act also gives the Director of the Division a consistent job title throughout the Code.
Section 28 and Section 43 of this Act change "Legislative Council" to the Division to conform the law to current practice.
For reports that must be submitted to the Division, this Act makes consistent that those reports must be submitted to the Librarian of the Division, in addition to the Director.
Section 62 delays the effect of this Act until November 6, 2024, to coincide with the start of the 153rd General Assembly.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
