APPOINTING A COMMITTEE TO NOTIFY THE GOVERNOR THAT THE SENATE IS ORGANIZED.
This bill (SR 5) is a routine procedural resolution. It directs the Senate Presiding Officer to appoint a two-member committee to formally notify the Governor that the Delaware Senate is organized and ready to begin its work. The resolution affects only the Governor and Senate leadership, creating no new laws or policies. It serves as a standard step in the Senate's organizational process after a new legislative session begins. This is a non-substantive, administrative measure with no direct impact on citizens or existing laws.
