REMEMBERING DELABEAR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING VIGILANT WHILE DRIVING TO PROTECT OUR WILDLIFE.
This House Resolution commemorates the black bear named Delabear, which was killed by a vehicle in Delaware, and expresses the legislature's sadness over the loss. The bill directly addresses drivers, developers, state agencies, and residents by encouraging them to be more vigilant while driving to avoid hitting wildlife. It also urges those involved in development projects to consider local wildlife habitats when planning future construction. The measure does not create new laws or penalties but serves as a formal statement to promote road safety and coexistence with nature.
