Bill Summary · SB 91

Legislative bill overview

SB 91 amends Delaware's Title 14 (Education Code) to modify the state's Title IX policies and procedures. The bill passed both chambers of the legislature with strong bipartisan support and was signed into law by the Governor in September 2025. The specific substantive changes are not detailed in the provided legislative history.

Why is this important

Title IX is the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education, and states often implement their own additional protections and procedures. Changes to Delaware's Title IX framework affect how schools handle discrimination complaints, conduct investigations, and protect student rights across the state's education system.

Potential points of contention

  • The amendment (HA 1) introduced in May and passed in June suggests the bill was modified during consideration, potentially indicating compromise or dispute over specific language regarding complaint procedures, investigation standards, or remedies
  • Title IX amendments typically generate debate between those prioritizing complainant protections versus those concerned about due process rights for the accused
  • Without access to the bill's text, the specific policy changes—whether expanding protections, altering investigation procedures, or modifying remedies—cannot be identified as potential sources of public disagreement
