Legislative bill overview

HB 6 amends Delaware's Title 29 code to modify the powers, duties, and operational structure of the state Auditor of Accounts office. The bill was introduced with bipartisan sponsorship and passed both chambers before being signed into law by the Governor in June 2025.

Why is this important

The Auditor of Accounts serves as a key oversight body for state government finances and operations. Changes to this office's authority and structure directly affect how effectively Delaware can audit public spending, investigate irregularities, and ensure fiscal accountability across state agencies.
