State Legislature Bills

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.

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.
