Summary
On May 12 the Delaware Senate adopted a consent calendar that included a Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month proclamation, recognition of Delaware Grown Week, and a resolution honoring Nemours Children's Health research; senators also welcomed VEX robotics teams from multiple districts to the chamber.
During its May 12 session the Delaware Senate adopted Consent Calendar 53 by roll call, which included multiple ceremonial and recognition items.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 186, introduced by Senator Hawker, proclaims May 2026 as Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month; Hawker noted that cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting "approximately 40,000 Americans" and thanked advocates working on research and therapies that have improved life expectancy.
House Concurrent Resolution 125, presented by Senator Wilson, designates May 17–23 as Delaware Grown Week and highlights the economic role of farm stands and farmers markets. Wilson said farm-stand and farmers-market sales exceeded $5,000,000 in 2025, cited about 86 farm stands and roughly 27 community-run markets, and said fruits and vegetables make up nearly 45% of those sales.
House Concurrent Resolution 128, presented by Senator Cruz, recognizes Nemours Children's Health Delaware Valley Pediatric Research for contributions to pediatric science and clinical trials in the region.
Separately, the chamber welcomed students and guests from multiple districts, including Brandywine and Dover, who qualified for the VEX Robotics World Championship. Senators representing those districts stood to be recognized and the students were excused to view the robots outside the chamber.
The consent calendar passed by recorded vote (20 yes, 1 absent) and the items were declared passed to the Senate.
