Caption

An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Manufactured Housing And Tenants Receivership Petitions.

Summary

SB40 is an act to amend Titles 10 and 25 of the Delaware Code concerning manufactured housing and tenants’ receivership petitions. Based on the bill caption and voting history, the measure appears to make targeted changes to the legal framework governing manufactured housing communities and the procedures available to tenants or other parties seeking a receivership in related disputes. Although the full bill text was not available in the provided material, the title indicates it affects both property/landlord-tenant law and court procedures. The bill likely clarifies or updates statutory provisions in these areas, potentially changing how manufactured housing matters are handled and how receivership petitions are filed, reviewed, or enforced under Delaware law.

Impact

SB40 amends provisions in Titles 10 and 25 of the Delaware Code, meaning it changes both judicial/civil procedure rules and housing-related statutes. Its practical impact is on manufactured housing stakeholders, including tenants, landlords, community owners, and courts handling receivership petitions. Any statutory changes would likely alter the rights, remedies, or procedures available in disputes involving manufactured housing communities and receivership actions.

Sentiment

The available voting history shows strong bipartisan support and no recorded opposition: the Senate passed the bill 17-0 on third reading, and the House passed it 39-0 on third reading. With no committee transcript available, the overall sentiment appears broadly favorable and noncontroversial among legislators.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. The unanimous votes suggest little to no visible disagreement, though the subject matter could still implicate concerns for manufactured housing residents, property owners, and courts if the amendments change enforcement or receivership procedures. Without committee discussion, there is no evidence of organized opposition or disputed provisions in the record provided.
