Lawmakers must pass the bill before session ends on June 30 and will consider further changes amid federal funding uncertainty. Delaware Public Media
- ➤ Delaware lawmakers introduced HB 210, the Pollution Accountability Act, to increase penalties for commercial polluters and require that 40% of fines be reinvested in communities near violations — a measure that targets issues like air pollution, nutrient runoff and hazardous waste. Sponsored by Rep. Larry Lambert, House Speaker Melissa Minor-Brown and Sen. Nicole Poore, the bill now sits on the House Natural Resources Committee — where officials will review the proposal. WGMD

If passed, the law will use collected funds—up to a cap that returns excess revenue to the general fund—to help cover funeral expenses, mental health counseling, temporary housing and lost wages starting January 1.
