AN ACT TO AMEND THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RENAMING THE STATE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION AND THE DIVISION OF HUMAN RELATIONS.
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This Act does the following: (1) Changes the name of the State Human Relations Commission to the Delaware Human and Civil Rights Commission (“Commission”), as it appears in the Delaware Code. (2) Changes the name of the Division of Human Relations to the Division of Human and Civil Rights (“Division”), as it appears in the Delaware Code. This name change makes clearer the role of the Commission and Division in ensuring human rights and civil rights and helps differentiate the Commission and Division from the work of the Department of Human Resources and the City of Dover’s Human Relations Commission.
