House approves several concurrent resolutions and hears presentation on AI and computer science education

The Delaware House of Representatives on Jan. 15 approved a package of concurrent resolutions and received a floor presentation about AI and computer science workforce development.

Representative Moore introduced House Concurrent Resolution 81 designating Computer Science Education Week (week of December 2025) and explained its intent to promote inclusion and opportunity in computing fields. The House approved HCR81 by voice vote.

Leader Harris presented House Concurrent Resolution 80 to convene a joint session with the Senate for Governor Matthew S. Meyer's State of the State address on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026 at 2 p.m.; the Clerk read HCR80 and the House approved it by voice vote.

Representative Chakwacha presented Senate Concurrent Resolution 126 honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflected on King's legacy. In remarks, Chakwacha recounted recent local incidents of racial harassment — including a mannequin hung from a tree and racial slurs directed at student athletes — and said the Legislative Black Caucus plans legislative measures and has requested investigations through school and law-enforcement channels. SCR126 was approved by voice vote.

The House also granted floor privilege to Malcolm Cooley, founder of ReadyProp 1, who urged the chamber to treat AI literacy as essential to Delaware's economic future and described plans including an HBCU AI Summit at Delaware State University on April 16 and an effort to upscale 50,000 people in AI literacy over three years. "AI is the most critical infrastructure of our time," Cooley said.

Following the presentations, the House recessed for party caucuses and later returned to floor business.
