Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
5 instruments in Delaware. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsWould have opened the disabled veterans school tax credit at a rating of 80 percent rather than 100 percent.
Would have lowered the rating in 14 Del. C. § 1917(d) from 100 percent to 80 percent or greater. It was assigned to the House Appropriations Committee and did not pass before the session ended on June 30, 2026. The credit still requires 100 percent compensation for a permanent and total disability, by schedule or through individual unemployability.
Enacted 29 Del. C. §§ 8801-8804 and moved the Commission of Veterans Affairs to §§ 8811-8816. The Department runs the veterans cemeteries, the Veterans Trust Fund and the discharge paper repository, but under § 8801(c) remains a division of the Department of State until the General Assembly approves a transition report, with separation targeted by July 1, 2030. The act also moved recorded discharge documents from the county recorders to the Department (9 Del. C. § 9605(j)) and renamed references throughout the Code. Approved August 13, 2025.
▲Expands benefitsHas the Guard pay tuition and fees to the school directly instead of reimbursing the member after the member pays.
Amended 14 Del. C. § 3480 so the Guard pays tuition and fees to the institution within 60 days of the member’s bill instead of reimbursing the member afterwards. Effective on approval, July 23, 2025, and implemented on July 1, 2026. Guides telling Guard members to pay first and submit receipts describe the old program.
▲Expands benefitsMakes military status, including veteran status, a protected class in employment, housing, public accommodations, insurance and education.
Added "military status" across Delaware’s anti-discrimination statutes, defined to include members of the uniformed forces and reserve components, veterans as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101 and dependents of servicemembers as defined in 50 U.S.C. 3911, and added a safe harbour for any distinction allowed by state or federal law, regulation or government contract. Approved July 23, 2025.
▲Expands benefitsOpens the driver licence veteran designation to veterans of the Public Health Service and NOAA commissioned corps.
Replaced "United States Armed Forces or of the National Guard" in 21 Del. C. § 2718(g) with "uniformed services of the United States", defined as the six armed forces, the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, NOAA, reserve components and the National Guard, and added PHS Form 1867 and NOAA Form 56-16 as proof. The discharge test remains other than dishonorable. Approved June 24, 2025.
