Sussex Republican women take aim at Delaware legislative agenda
At their Jan. 26 meeting, Sussex County Republican Women’s Club members delved into the most pressing issues facing Delaware voters in 2022. Enthused members left the year’s first monthly meeting with greater understanding, solid resolutions and clear action items in mind.
Nandi Randolph, a former honors and advanced placement teacher, now a policy expert at the Delaware Family Policy Council, highlighted the following bills most likely to transform the lives of all Delawareans.
They include:
- HB 140 - A bill amending end-of-life statutes, introducing an option for physician-assisted suicide
- HB 150 & HB 305 - A bill creating the Delaware Marijuana Control Act
- SB 195 - A bill amending media literacy in schools, which seeks to shape students’ interpretation of civic issues
- HB 199 - A bill expanding the scope of equal rights in the Delaware Constitution to include sexual orientation and gender identity
- HB 165 - A bill amending Delaware code relating to human remains to include “human composting.”
Randolph also went over some critical bills that have already passed during the prior legislative session or which were voted down; among them are:
- SR 22 - Defeated. A resolution which would have condemned federal action against parents and reaffirmed parents’ rights to bring grievances to school boards
- SB 206 - In limbo. A bill which would have amended Title 14 to provide students with instruction of comparative political ideologies, including communism and totalitarianism, which conflict with the principles of freedom and democracy
- SB 105 - Passed. Amendment to Delaware code allowing pharmacists to dispense contraceptives without a prescription.
In summing up the state of currently pending legislation in Delaware, Randolph said, “This is not over. With over 10,000 subscribers across the state, the Delaware Family Policy Council is just beginning its efforts to increase awareness of these legislative changes in Delaware.”
The Sussex County Republican women present at the meeting pledged their enthusiastic support in this effort.
The next SCRWC meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Mulligan's Pointe in Georgetown.
