Summary — SCR 69 (Concurrent Resolution)

Status: Enrolled and filed with the Secretary of State (chaptered as Res. Chapter 125, Statutes of 2025) — filed 7/3/2025.
Introduced: April 28, 2025.
Classification: Concurrent resolution.

Note on source material
- The package of documents provided contains multiple, conflicting texts (including a California-style “Behavioral Health Awareness Month” resolution and other excerpts). The enacted text reflected in the legislative actions and the bill text below refers to a Delaware concurrent resolution amending membership of the Port of Wilmington Expansion Task Force. This summary focuses on that enacted Delaware resolution.

Purpose and intent
- To modify the membership of the Port of Wilmington Expansion Task Force by adding the New Castle County Executive (or the County Executive’s designee) to the Task Force. The Task Force had previously been reestablished by Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 47 on April 15, 2025.

Key provisions
- Adds one named member to the Port of Wilmington Expansion Task Force:
- The New Castle County County Executive, or a designee selected by the County Executive, is to be included among the Task Force membership.
- The resolution is strictly organizational/amending in nature; it does not appropriate funds or create policy beyond Task Force membership.

Who is affected
- Port of Wilmington Expansion Task Force — its membership and stakeholder representation.
- New Castle County government — specifically the County Executive’s office (gains a formal seat or designee on the Task Force).
- Local, state, and regional stakeholders involved in port expansion planning and outreach (the added county representation may affect coordination, local input, and decisionmaking processes).

Procedural and timeline points
- Introduced April 28, 2025.
- Passed both legislative chambers (records indicate adoption in the Assembly and subsequent Senate concurrence).
- Enrolled, signed by legislative leaders, filed with the Secretary of State, and chaptered as a resolution on July 3, 2025 (Res. Chapter 125, Statutes of 2025).
- The resolution is effective as a legislative expression of membership change upon final filing/chaptring; it does not create a statute that would require further regulatory implementation.

Practical impact
- The change increases direct county-level representation on the Task Force, which may improve coordination between the Port and New Castle County on expansion planning, permitting, community engagement, infrastructure alignment, and related public works issues. No new funding or regulatory authority is granted by this resolution.
