AI Summary

  • Proposes amending Article II of the Delaware Constitution to establish a "Crossover Day" deadline of June 20 each year for bills to be presented from one house of the General Assembly to the other house.

  • Exempts the annual budget appropriation act, grants-in-aid act, bond and capital improvement act, and resolutions from the Crossover Day deadline requirement.

  • Allows either house to waive the Crossover Day restriction by passing a resolution with concurrence of two-thirds of all members elected to that house.

  • Requires two-thirds approval in both chambers of the General Assembly for this constitutional amendment to pass.

  • Aligns Delaware with 26 other states, including Maryland, that have similar crossover day deadlines for legislative chamber-to-chamber bill passage.
