Bill Summary · SCR 20

Overview: SCR 20, a concurrent resolution encouraging Governor Matt Meyer to turn Delaware purple for the month of April in support of Delaware's military-connected students.

Purpose and Intent: The resolution aims to raise awareness and show support for Delaware's military-connected students, who often face unique challenges and transitions due to their families' military service.

Key Provisions:
- Calls on Governor Matt Meyer to proclaim the month of April as "Delaware Military-Connected Student Awareness Month"
- Encourages the state to light up government buildings and landmarks in the color purple, which is associated with military families
- Urges schools, businesses, and communities to participate in awareness-raising activities and events

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Military-connected students and their families in Delaware, who would benefit from increased recognition and support
- State and local government agencies, which would be asked to participate in the awareness campaign
- The general public in Delaware, who would be exposed to the campaign and learn more about the experiences of military-connected students

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The resolution has already passed the Delaware House by voice vote and is now awaiting further action in the Senate. If approved, the governor would be expected to issue the proclamation and coordinate the awareness campaign for April 2025.
