Summary: The House Health Care and Wellness Committee held public hearings on House Bill 2545, which would direct the Department of Health to create rules allowing elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) at ambulatory surgical facilities, and House Bill 2613, which would add quality-assurance requirements for compounded drugs using bulk drug substances. On HB 2545, supporters including ambulatory surgery center representatives, cardiologists, and the prime sponsor argued the bill would improve access, reduce wait times, and lower costs while maintaining safety through patient selection and existing accreditation standards. Opponents from the hospital association argued that shifting PCI volume away from hospitals could undermine provider proficiency and the financial support hospitals use to maintain emergency cardiac services, and suggested the issue should be studied further. On HB 2613, the prime sponsor and several supporters said the bill was intended to address unsafe, large-scale compounding—especially weight-loss drugs—by requiring stronger sourcing, testing, and documentation of ingredients. Opponents from pharmacy, medical, hospital, clinic, and compounding groups argued the bill was overbroad, could restrict access to legitimate compounded medications, increase costs and delays, and in some cases conflict with existing federal and state compounding rules; some also urged narrowing the bill to focus on GLP-1 weight-loss products and exempt hospitals, nursing homes, and animal compounding. The sponsor of HB 2613 said amendments were being developed to narrow the scope and clarify the bill before executive session. In executive session, the committee considered six bills and then took final action on seven measures. It adopted amendments and advanced HB 1496, which limits fees for certain electronically stored health care information and changes attorney-fee provisions under the Uniform Health Care Information Act; HB 2283, which raises the medical loss ratio target for health plans to 90% with a delayed implementation date and added reporting authority for the insurance commissioner; HB 2425, which revises nurse delegation rules and delays implementation to 2028; and HB 2577, which clarifies hospital inspection timing and allows Department of Health flexibility in using CMS surveys as equivalent inspections. The committee also advanced HB 2155, addressing non-human entities using nursing titles; HB 2340, relating to substance use disorder monitoring program provisions for nursing assistants; and HB 2437, concerning Department of Health opioid treatment accreditation activities and associated fee authority. Votes were largely bipartisan, though several members voted no or without recommendation on some bills, especially HB 2283 and HB 2437. The meeting ended with all seven bills reported out of committee with due pass recommendations.

Summary: The committee first met in executive session and advanced SB 6102, SB 6103, and SB 6194. SB 6102, concerning the Ambulance Transport Fund quality assurance fee, and SB 6103, concerning payments for rural emergency hospitals, were both given due pass recommendations to the Rules Committee. SB 6194, which would allow cost-based Medicaid payments for certain rural hospitals on federally recognized Indian reservations, was referred to the Ways and Means Committee without recommendation. All three actions were approved without recorded opposition. The committee then held hearings on several public hearing bills. SB 6183 would require health plans, including public employee plans, to cover all FDA-approved HIV antiviral drugs without prior authorization, step therapy, or other utilization management, with one therapeutic-equivalent exception for prevention drugs. The prime sponsor argued it would reduce barriers to timely treatment and prevention, and a person living with HIV testified that insurance changes had once interrupted access to medication. The hearing drew substantial public interest, with testimony and sign-in counts reported as 53 pro, 58 con, and one other. SB 5985 would create an endometriosis online resource center, Department of Health training modules, and related school health curriculum updates. The sponsor and multiple patients and clinicians described long diagnostic delays, dismissed symptoms, and the need for better education; testimony was strongly supportive, though the sign-in count showed both support and opposition. SB 6019 proposed changes to home care rate statutes to preserve parity and set administrative-rate caps; labor and provider witnesses supported it as a technical fix, while the committee also discussed an updated fiscal note. SB 6161 would direct the Department of Health to include dementia risk-reduction information in public health materials and provider resources when appropriate; the sponsor, Alzheimer’s advocates, and family members supported it as a low-cost prevention measure. Finally, SB 6210 would let the Health Benefit Exchange add a new certification criterion for exchange plans to address affordability and access, including county availability and plan differentiation. The sponsor, the Exchange, and supporters said it could help prevent bare counties and improve affordability amid rising premiums and federal subsidy changes, while the Insurance Commissioner requested an amendment to protect rate confidentiality. Carriers, brokers, and some insurers opposed the bill, warning it could destabilize the market, reduce competition, and pressure premiums; AARP and some consumers supported it as a way to preserve access and choice.

Summary: The Judicial Criminal Committee met for its first meeting of the session, with the chair noting the committee had roughly 55 bills assigned and urging members to review them in advance to move hearings along efficiently. A new committee member, Representative Clinton, was welcomed, and Vice Chair Harris later introduced a legislative intern, Allie Burwell, who will be working in his office during the session. Several bills were heard and advanced. HB 2937 would allow otherwise qualified individuals to carry firearms on boats, as a cleanup measure related to constitutional carry; it received a due pass. HB 3419 would extend the felony offense for corruptly disclosing private bid information from state officials to officials of counties and cities, and it also received a due pass. HB 3264 would make domestic violence by strangulation an 85% crime, and HB 3266 would increase penalties for reckless driving tied to collisions and street racing/takeovers; both were advanced. HB 3267 would make breaking and entering into an occupied dwelling a felony in itself, and members discussed how accidental entry or prosecutorial discretion would be handled; it also received a due pass. HB 3268 addressed fake or fictitious tags, including problems involving commercial vehicles, and was described as a response to concerns from Oklahoma City police and the Corporation Commission. Members asked about drafting changes and title references, which were explained as cleanup language tied to recent reclassification and drafting procedures. The bill was then advanced with a due pass. Two other bills, HB 3495 and HB 3497, were held over, and the committee adjourned after the chair again asked members to review bills and raise concerns beforehand.

Summary: The committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 883, which would protect physicians’ ability to prescribe off-label medications and treatments, framed by the author as a “Right to Treat” measure tied to COVID-19 care. Supporters, including physicians and patient-choice advocates, said the bill would safeguard the doctor-patient relationship and prevent interference by boards, pharmacies, or hospitals. Several witnesses described using hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, budesonide, antibiotics, steroids, and monoclonal antibodies during the pandemic, and said they faced complaints, board scrutiny, or pharmacy refusals for those prescriptions. The bill was left pending after public testimony closed. The committee then took up Senate Bill 331, which would extend hospital price-transparency requirements to additional health care facilities such as freestanding ERs, urgent care and retail clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, outpatient clinics, and birthing centers. Proponents argued that broader disclosure of prices for shoppable services would help consumers compare costs and reduce surprise billing, while opponents from ambulatory surgery centers said the bill would impose costly compliance burdens on small providers and that insurers or the state already have much of the needed data. The bill was also left pending. Senate Bill 2422 would expunge Texas Medical Board records and impose reparations for disciplinary actions tied to COVID-era treatment decisions, including references to ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, budesonide, and masks. The author and supporters argued that doctors were unfairly targeted for trying to save patients and should be made whole; the Texas Medical Board representative said most pandemic complaints were dismissed, that actions generally involved broader issues such as privileges, documentation, or informed consent, and that no physician was disciplined solely for prescribing off-label COVID medications. The bill was left pending. Finally, the committee heard Senate Bill 2207, which would loosen Texas Medical Board rules on physicians advertising themselves as board certified, especially by reducing barriers tied to maintenance of certification requirements. Supporters said the current rule is overly restrictive, inconsistent, and costly, and that it drives physicians out of practice; they also said Texas is one of only a few states with such a rule. Witnesses described hospitals using the rule against physicians and said the change would improve transparency and competition. The bill remained pending after testimony.

Summary: The committee heard SB 1166 SD2, a bill on insurance and climate-related damages that would authorize the Hawaii Property Insurance Association and, in amended versions discussed during testimony, other public and private entities to pursue civil actions to recover losses tied to climate disasters and extreme weather. DCCA’s Insurance Division and the Department of the Attorney General raised legal concerns, saying the bill’s scope may not fit the insurance code section being amended, that it could create subject-matter and title issues, and that some subrogation language may be duplicative of existing rate-filing practice. Lawyers for Justice opposed the measure, arguing it conflicts with existing subrogation law and recent Hawaii Supreme Court rulings that treat the judicial lien process as the exclusive remedy. The American Petroleum Institute also opposed, warning the bill would add liability and litigation risk for companies operating under existing permits and could undermine energy reliability and investment. Supporters said the bill would help shift climate-related insurance costs away from residents and onto fossil fuel companies and other responsible parties. Testimony in support came from the Polluters Pay Hawaii Coalition, Center for Climate Integrity, Hawaii Island Council, Our Hawaii, Sierra Club of Hawaii, and others, who described recent flooding, storm damage, rising premiums, non-renewals, and underinsurance as evidence of a worsening climate-driven insurance crisis. Several supporters urged amendments to give the Attorney General explicit authority to recover insurance-related losses for the Hurricane Relief Fund, HPIA, and private insurers, and to ensure recovered amounts benefit policyholders. Committee members questioned whether HPIA is a private entity, whether the Attorney General could represent it, whether the bill could create double recovery or affect pending climate litigation, and whether insurers would have standing or damages if they are only paying contractual claims. The committee then took up SB 888 SD2, a consumer protection bill that would restrict smart household security device operators from sharing user data with law enforcement without consent or a judicial order, and would bar conditioning device use on such consent. The Office of Consumer Protection testified in support and said an Illinois law could serve as a useful template for exceptions to the warrant requirement. An individual supporter said the measure would protect immigrant communities, judges, and others from surveillance and misuse of private data. No vote was taken during the portion of the meeting provided, and the chair noted additional written testimony submitted in support of SB 1166.

Summary: The Senate Elections and Government Affairs Committee met in hybrid format, approved the June 10 draft minutes, and then heard a long agenda of bills. HB 89 (home improvement fraud dispute resolution) was presented as a consumer protection measure developed with DOJ to address contractor fraud, especially against vulnerable homeowners; members voiced support and asked to be added as sponsors. HB 283 updated realty transfer tax exemptions to use gender-neutral “spouses” language and add a direct grandparent-to-grandchild transfer exemption; it drew supportive public comment. HS1 for HB 390 would let DelDOT choose electronic-only bidding for projects, remove newspaper bid-opening notices, and clarify bidding records, with no opposition raised. HB 328/H.A. 2 modernizes the Register of Regulations statute, keeps newspaper distribution requirements, and delays some effective dates to 2027; it was described as a technical update. HB 365 would create the Delaware Indigenous Affairs Commission, prompting supportive testimony from Indigenous community members and some discussion about representation and internal tribal اختلافs, but no formal opposition. HB 423 would automatically enroll new state employees in the 457B deferred compensation plan unless they opt out, with exclusions for collective bargaining units and implementation tied to payroll readiness; it was presented as a retirement-savings measure. SS1 for SB 342 would modernize the Delaware Motion Picture and Television Development Commission to support a broader film/media incentive package, with support from the Delaware Arts Alliance and a request to help attract productions to Delaware. The committee also heard SB 331, a cleanup bill on garagekeeper liens for manufactured housing and related assets. The sponsor and an attorney explained it as clarifying who can recover funds and attorney’s fees in lien sales, but the Chief Magistrate and the manufactured housing association said the issue should be addressed more carefully and possibly in another section of code; they were open to further work. HB 436 would update the Smyrna charter, including school impact fees, election challenge procedures, vacancy rules, domicile standards, Board of Elections terms, and meeting schedules. HS1 for HB 376 made technical and organizational changes to the Millville charter, including a tiebreaker for municipal elections and a property tax cap, with the town solicitor saying there was little substantive change. HB 460 would require New Castle County municipalities to submit permit data monthly rather than on a much slower schedule, limited to closed permits with certificates of occupancy, to improve property assessment data; it was presented as part of broader reassessment/data-quality efforts. Public comment was heard on several items, especially HB 365 and SS1 for SB 342. Indigenous speakers supported the commission as a way to preserve heritage, improve representation, and create a formal seat at the table. The Delaware Arts Alliance supported the film commission modernization bill as part of a broader creative-economy plan. No recorded votes were taken on the individual bills in the transcript, and the meeting ended with a unanimous motion to adjourn.

Summary: The Senate Human Services Committee heard four bills. SB 6024, sponsored by Senator Gildon, would streamline DSHS oversight of community residential service providers by limiting routine reviews to no more than one annual review per subject area, combining reviews when possible, and requiring better document sharing within the department to reduce duplicate requests. The sponsor and provider witnesses said the bill would reduce redundant audits and paperwork so providers can spend more time on direct client care. SB 6063, a DSHS request bill sponsored by Senator Bateman, would update statutes to reflect DSHS’s recent reorganization and rename references to the new administrations; testimony described it as a technical, no-cost cleanup measure. The committee also heard a proposed substitute for SB 5681, sponsored by Senator Cortez, which would lower from 21 to 20 the age at which people with intellectual and developmental disabilities may access employment and community inclusion services, and would rename community access as community inclusion. Senator Cortez and multiple advocates, educators, and service providers testified that earlier access would help young adults avoid a service gap after school, support transition to work, and improve long-term independence; the substitute was explained as changing the original bill’s proposed age from 19 to 20. SB 6036, sponsored by Senator Kaufman and requested by DSHS, would create a narrow exemption from adult family home licensure for certain foster care or kinship caregivers who continue caring for former foster youth who are the only unrelated adults in the home. Senator Kaufman and DSHS said the bill would preserve stability and continuity of care for youth aging out of foster care while maintaining safeguards, and DSHS testified in support. No votes were taken; the chair closed each hearing after testimony, and announced upcoming executive sessions and future hearings.
