Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires local governments in Delaware to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs), such as in-law suites or garage apartments, to be built without overly difficult rules. This aims to increase the supply of affordable housing options for residents. Local governments will have one year to create ordinances that permit ADUs by right, with some exceptions for parking and design requirements.
