Attorney General Kathy Jennings spoke out Tuesday after the Delaware House of Representatives declined to pass Senate Bill 100, expressing her disappointment over the outcome.
In her statement, Jennings pointed to the General Assembly’s track record on civil rights issues. “For years now, Delaware’s General Assembly has repeatedly moved the needle forward on LGBTQ+ rights and civil rights writ large; in recent years that movement has been unflinching. That record makes it all the…” she said, noting the significance of the House’s failure to act on the legislation.
SB 100 did not receive the votes needed to advance through the Delaware House, marking a rare moment where the chamber did not continue what Jennings described as a consistent push toward expanding civil rights protections in the state.
