Sen. Laura Sturgeon

Maddy summaryThis bill designates March 30, 2026, as National Doctors' Day in Delaware to honor physicians and surgeons for their contributions to public health. It specifically recognizes the Delaware Chapter of the American College of Surgeons for their life-saving service and dedication to improving healthcare in the state. The measure establishes an official state recognition date but does not create new laws, funding, or operational requirements. It serves as a commemorative resolution rather than a policy change affecting daily operations or regulations.

This Act is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 2. This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 2 in that it incorporates technical corrections made to the Delaware Constitution by House Bill No. 10 (153rd General Assembly). Like Senate Bill No. 2, this Act is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to specifically authorize early, in-person voting for the general election, a primary election, and a special election filling a vacancy in the General Assembly. Specifically, this Act provides that early, in-person voting is to occur on 10 calendar days before the date of the general election, primary election, and special election, including the Saturday and Sunday immediately before the election. Amending the Delaware Constitution requires not only the passing of the changes in this Act, but also passage of the same changes after the next general election by the next General Assembly. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article XVI of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend the Delaware Constitution.
