Bill Summary · SB 105

Legislative bill overview

SB 105 amends Delaware's Title 16 code to modify the structure and operations of the Enhanced 911 Emergency Reporting System Service Board. The bill passed both chambers with broad support and was signed into law by the Governor in July 2025.

Why is this important

The Enhanced 911 system is critical infrastructure that affects emergency response capabilities across Delaware. Changes to how the board governing this system operates can impact funding, service standards, and how quickly emergency responders receive caller information—directly affecting public safety outcomes.

Potential points of contention

  • Board composition/authority changes: Amendments to board membership, appointment processes, or decision-making authority could shift control between state agencies, municipalities, or private entities
  • Funding mechanism modifications: Changes to how the 911 system is financed (through surcharges, taxes, or fees) affect both consumers and service providers
  • Service delivery standards: Alterations to operational requirements or performance metrics may create compliance burdens or affect service quality in rural versus urban areas
