State Legislature Bills

Establishes a competitive, annually funded grant program for flood mitigation and infrastructure upgrades, prioritizing documented risk, public safety, community need, and transparent project selection.

The bill requires Delaware’s transportation department to create a five-year, funding-dependent plan ranking bridge repairs, freight-route upgrades, and congestion relief projects by safety, condition, travel time, economic impact, and readiness, with annual public cost reports.

The bill would fund mixed-income workforce housing near rail stations and major transit routes through grants and low-interest loans. Participating municipalities could receive infrastructure aid for streamlined zoning reviews, while supported projects must maintain a share of income-restricted units for at least 30 years.

The bill creates a workforce housing initiative for mixed-income developments near jobs and transit, offering coordinated, time-limited state review while retaining local zoning, public notice, environmental review, and affordability rules. Assistance and infrastructure priority would depend on legislative funding.

This bill speeds up state review for mixed-income housing near jobs, transit, and existing utilities, while creating a state matching fund to help local governments pay for needed infrastructure. Projects must still follow environmental, safety, and local land-use rules, with priority for workforce and starter homes for low- and moderate-income households.

This bill creates a fast-track state permitting process for workforce and starter-home housing, plus targeted infrastructure grants and limited tax incentives for mixed-income projects near job centers and transit. In return, projects must meet local code, follow transparent affordability standards, and report annually on units built, approval speed, and where development occurs.

The Delaware Affordable Healthcare Access Expansion Act aims to increase funding for community health centers and preventive care programs, focusing on mental health resources for low-income families to improve overall community well-being and reduce healthcare costs.
