DE HB 334

enacted

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 9 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE NEW CASTLE COUNTY HUMAN RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD.

Delaware · 2025-2026 Regular Session (153rd General Assembly) · lower

Description

New Castle County's Human Resources Advisory Board is responsible for making recommendations to the Chief Human Resources Officer, the County Executive, and County Council on ways to improve human resources administration in County government. This Act increases Board membership from 3 to 7 members and reduces members' terms from 6 to 4 years. The Board will tangibly benefit from these changes, which will bring with them alternative views and will lead to a healthy challenge and improvement to existing policies and processes. This Act also provides that a member who is serving when this Act is enacted may complete the member's 6-year term, and the member's successor and each successor thereafter will serve the 4-year term provided under this Act. Finally, this Act makes technical changes to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
