Delaware families could soon feel the effects of a newly signed state budget and a series of legislative measures passed by the 153rd General Assembly, officials say.
Governor Matt Meyer signed the Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget on June 30, setting in motion a package of initiatives designed to reduce health care costs and improve access to child care across the state.
The budget and accompanying legislation reflect priorities outlined by Delaware’s Department of Health and Social Services, with a focus on making essential services more accessible and building up the workforce that provides care to residents.
Officials say the measures represent meaningful progress for Delaware households who have struggled with the rising costs of health and child care services in recent years.
