Bill Summary · SB 96

Legislative bill overview

SB 96 amends Delaware's Revised Uniform Partnership Act (Title 6 of the Delaware Code) to modernize partnership law provisions. The bill passed both chambers with overwhelming support and was signed by the Governor on June 30, 2025. The specific amendments align Delaware with uniform partnership standards used across multiple states.

Why is this important

Delaware is a major jurisdiction for business entity formation, making updates to its partnership laws relevant to thousands of businesses nationwide that incorporate or establish partnerships there. Modernizing the Revised Uniform Partnership Act ensures Delaware remains competitive and consistent with national standards, potentially affecting how partnerships are structured, managed, and dissolved. This has practical implications for business compliance, liability protection, and operational flexibility.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of changes unclear – The bill summary does not specify which provisions were amended, making it difficult to assess whether changes favor certain partnership structures over others
  • Retroactive application questions – Unclear whether amendments apply only to new partnerships or also affect existing partnerships, which could create compliance challenges
  • Limited public debate – The quick passage (one vote in Senate, two committee steps in House) suggests minimal legislative discussion about specific impacts on different partnership types
