The chair conducted roll call, announcing presence or absence of committee members (e.g., Senator David Sikola present; Senator Stephanie Hanson absent; Senator Nicole Hoare present; Senator Eric Buxton absent; Senator Dave Lawson present). With a sufficient number present, the committee moved to the agenda.
The Delaware Senate Education Committee held a short procedural meeting to consider four bills: HB 262 (clarifying paid leave timing for adoptive parents), SB 273 (school safety materials language), HB 214 (updates to interagency autism committee membership), and HB 256 (mandatory safety hotlines on student ID cards). Each bill was presented, questions were asked, and public comment was minimal; no committee votes on the bills were recorded in the transcript.
