Daily Report for 4/24/2026
Governor's Actions
| Bill | Current Status | Sponsor | Synopsis | Title |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SB 110 | Signed | Poore | The purpose of this Act is to expand patient access to physical therapy services. Currently, a physical therapist may treat an individual without a referral up to 30 days after which time a physician must be consulted. The amendment extends that deadline to 90 days with the objective of ensuring continuity of care. Physical therapists will still be required to practice within their scope of training and expertise. This Act also clarifies the requirements for renewal and reactivation of licenses to ensure consistency with other Title 24 boards and the processes used by the Division of Professional Regulation. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE EXAMINING BOARD OF PHYSICAL THERAPISTS AND ATHLETIC TRAINERS. |
| HB 221 | Signed | Carson | This Act allows the Department of Agriculture to increase the biennial pesticide registration fee, which currently may not exceed $140, up to a maximum fee of $500. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 10 of Article VIII of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to increase the effective rate of any tax levied or license fee imposed. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 3 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PESTICIDES. |
| HB 224 | Signed | K. Johnson | The Act authorizes licensed Physician Assistants (PA) in Delaware to pronounce death and to complete a medical certification of death. This Act also removes registered nurses from the list of practitioners who may complete a medical certification of death, as it conflicts with the scope of practice set out in Title 24. This Act also makes technical changes to conform to the Legislative Drafting Manual. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 AND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF DEATH. |
| HB 191 | Signed | Minor-Brown | This Act clarifies that a nonhuman entity, including an agent powered by AI, may not be licensed as a professional nurse, APRN, practical nurse, physician, or physician assistant. It further clarifies that a nonhuman entity may not use any of the foregoing professional titles. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, TITLES, AND NONHUMAN ENTITIES. |
| HB 277 | Signed | Neal | This Act codifies the Delaware State Police program that makes available a “blue envelope” for use by a person with a disability. The intent of this program is to increase safety for both officers and persons with a disability during a traffic stop. The envelope contains written information for officers regarding interacting with a person with a disability, as well as guidance for the person with a disability on safe interactions with law-enforcement during a traffic stop. The envelope is sized to be able to contain a driver’s license, motor vehicle registration card, and insurance identification card and other related documents. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SAFETY DURING TRAFFIC STOPS. |
