2025-2026 Regular SessionDelaware Legislature

HB36: An Act To Amend Title 2, Title 6, Title 9, Title 10, Title 14, Title 19, Title 20, Title 24, Title 25, And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Discrimination.

Legislative Summary

This Act aligns Delawares non-discrimination laws. Delaware has several broad laws that prohibit discrimination in public accommodations, housing, employment, and insurance but also has many narrow non-discrimination laws that apply to a specific entity, or type of entity, even though a broad law also prohibits discrimination by that entity. This Act aligns the narrower non-discrimination laws with the applicable broad non-discrimination law by also prohibiting discrimination on any other basis protected under the applicable broad law. Adding the reference to the chapter for the applicable broad law includes all protected classes, definitions, and actions that are currently protected under the broad law or that are added to the broad law in the future.
