Bill Summary · SB 145

Legislative bill overview

SB 145 amends Delaware's workers' compensation statute (Title 19) to modify how workers' compensation payments are calculated, administered, or distributed. The bill passed both chambers with strong bipartisan support and was signed into law by the Governor on June 30, 2025.

Why is this important

Workers' compensation directly affects injured workers' financial security and employers' insurance costs. Changes to this system impact thousands of Delaware workers who rely on these benefits for medical care and lost wages, as well as business operating costs across the state.

Potential points of contention

  • Benefit level adjustments – If the bill modifies payment amounts or duration, it may either reduce worker protections or increase employer premiums
  • Medical provider access – Changes to how medical treatments are approved or paid could affect injured workers' treatment options
  • Implementation timeline – How quickly changes take effect may create administrative challenges or unexpected financial impacts for ongoing claims
