The Senate passed Senate Bill 34 unanimously yesterday. This bill will repeal and ban all state statutes still on the books that allow discrimination in public accommodations. It now goes to the House for consideration.
HOUSE AGENDA – The House will reconvene at 2:00 PM on Thursday, March 30, 2023 to consider the main agenda and Consent Calendar Number 2.
The House will also recognize and welcome the Caesar Rodney High School Unified Flag Football Champions, Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou, the Greek Ambassador to the United States, and the Wilmington Friends School State Football Champions. One of those is not like the others.
The House will also consider resolutions recognizing Atheist Awareness Day in Delaware (let’s see if this is more successful than last week’s defeat of a National Atheist’s Day Resolution) and recognizing International Transgender Day of Visibility. On that last item, you can expect the absolute worst from our House Republicans.
