Information from May 22, 2025 meeting and April 17, 2025 minutes
Chair's Report
The chair was concerned that DEMHRA is not being informed of any Legislative changes that affect their procedures. This includes new Title 25 Chapter 70 laws, or updates to existing ones. DEMHRA is also concerned that we do not have an opportunity to review or provide input to any proposed laws or changes. The State of Delaware provides the Delaware Notification Service, which allows the public to subscribe to information updates provided by State agencies through e-mail.
Executive Director's Report:
Our Executive Director attended the Senate Housing and Land Use Committee meeting for SB144. This Bill will eliminate a defined amount for the cap of the Trust Fund in Chapter 70, as DEMHRA’s Board already has the authority to set the cap as needed. This Bill would eliminate discrepancies between Chapter 70 and what the Board decides. It passed the Senate committee and will now go to the full Senate for consideration.
Legal Counsel Report:
Counsel was not present but sent in a report.
These parks were referred for legal action at the April’s meeting:
