Delaware’s Environmental LAWMAKERS
Delaware has three committees devoted to environmental matters - one in the Delaware State Senate, and two in the Delaware State House of Representatives.
The committees are responsible for drafting legislation to regulate matters related to the state’s environment and natural resources. After the committees complete their drafts, the proposed law is then presented to the full Senate and House.
To pass laws in Delaware, a majority of both the Delaware House and Delaware Senate must vote to support the proposed law (a bill). The Governor must then sign the bill into law or veto it.
