Bill Summary · SB 78

Legislative bill overview

SB 78 proposed amendments to Delaware's anti-discrimination laws (Title 14 of the Delaware Code), though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available bill summary. The measure was introduced in the Delaware Senate in March 2025 and received mixed committee support before being stricken from consideration in January 2026.

Why is this important

Anti-discrimination legislation directly affects employment, housing, education, and public accommodations protections for Delaware residents. Changes to these statutes can either expand protections for vulnerable groups or alter compliance requirements for businesses and institutions.

Potential points of contention

  • Unclear scope of amendments – Without knowing whether the bill expanded, narrowed, or clarified existing protections, the actual impact on stakeholders remains unclear
  • Committee division – The 3-2 split in committee votes suggests genuine disagreement about the bill's merits among legislators
  • Stricken status – The bill's removal from consideration in January 2026 indicates either procedural issues, withdrawn sponsor support, or lack of chamber consensus to advance it
