Senate Executive Committee moves House Bill 10, a 179‑page package of technical corrections to the Delaware Constitution
Summary
Chair David Sokola presented House Bill 10, a legislative council proposal concurring in proposed amendments to the Delaware Constitution for technical corrections. Committee members raised no questions and no public comment was recorded; the chair indicated the committee would sign out the bill.
Senator David Sokola, chair of the Senate Executive Committee, introduced House Bill 10, “an act concurring in proposed amendments to the Delaware constitution relating to technical corrections,” describing it as lengthy and the second legislative ‘‘leg’’ required for a constitutional amendment.
Sokola told the committee the measure is a two‑thirds bill because it proposes an amendment to the Delaware Constitution and described it as approximately 179 pages. He said the bill came from the Legislative Council and that the committee had already voted for the first leg. The chair invited questions and, after receiving none from committee members and noting there were no public commenters either in person or virtually, said the committee would “just sign it out.”
No public comment was recorded on House Bill 10, and the committee did not record a roll‑call vote in the transcript. Chair Sokola asked the committee to consider the day’s nomination backers before adjourning.
The transcript does not include a formal roll‑call tally or a motion on House Bill 10; it records the chair’s statement that the bill would be signed out and that the measure is the second step in the constitutional amendment process. Because the matter involves amendments to the state constitution, subsequent legislative steps and the two‑thirds requirement will apply as the measure proceeds on the Senate calendar.
