HB 209 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HEALTH CARE AND THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

HB 209 is a procedural bill that updates a reference in Delaware's Title 18 (health care laws) to align with current federal regulations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It does not change any healthcare policies or affect residents directly; it only corrects a cross-reference within state law. The bill's sole purpose is to ensure Delaware's legal citations match the latest federal ACA regulatory framework. This is a technical update with no substantive policy impact.
