AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

This Bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act extending and shortening certain time periods for parties to act and limits emergency regulations to situations affecting public health or safety. If an agency is found to have unlawfully adopted regulations, the agency shall be responsible for the complainant's reasonable fees and costs incurred in bringing such action. This Bill also specifies speaker-time allocation and what the agency is to do if more time is needed for parties to speak at public hearings. The purpose of the Bill is to simplify and expedite legal processes to review, stay, and adjudicate regulatory actions.
