Laws of Delaware

The Laws of Delaware are a compilation of the official acts of each session of the Delaware General Assembly. Each session lasts for two years. After legislation passes the House of Representatives and the Senate, in identical form, it is sent to the Governor. When the legislation is signed by the Governor, it is assigned a chapter number unique to the current volume of the Laws of Delaware.

For example: 75 Del. Law c. 268 refers to House Bill 399 of the 143rd General Assembly. This citation is then incorporated into the end of each section of the Delaware Statutory Code which provides the history of that particular section.

This listing of the Laws of Delaware, beginning in 1999 with the 140th General Assembly, is provided by the Division of Research of the Delaware General Assembly, and was compiled with the assistance of the Government Information Center.
