House approves consent calendar including resolutions on victims' rights and financial education
Summary
The Delaware House adopted Consent Calendar No. 4 by voice vote, approving four house concurrent resolutions and four senate concurrent resolutions recognizing Victims' Rights Week, financial-education observances and related items.
The Delaware House on April 9 adopted Consent Calendar No. 4 by voice vote, approving a group of eight concurrent resolutions including House Concurrent Resolutions 26, 27, 28 and 30 and Senate Concurrent Resolutions 33, 39, 42 and 46.
Leader Harris asked for a voice vote on the consent calendar; the presiding officer declared, “The ayes have it,” and the calendar was passed. The consent calendar was read by resolution number only before the voice vote.
The calendar included recognitions and observances that members briefly introduced on the floor. Representative Snyder Hall discussed House Concurrent Resolution 27, which marks Victims’ Rights Week. Representative Bush spoke about House Concurrent Resolution 28, declaring April 9 as Delaware Teach Children to Save Day. Representative Lambert introduced House Concurrent Resolution 30, recognizing April 6–12 as Delaware Saves Week and describing the state-facilitated retirement program Delaware Earns.
