AI Summary

  • Amends Delaware's Health Information Network (DHIN) chapter to conform with legislative drafting standards, primarily making technical corrections without substantive changes.

  • Clarifies DHIN Board member suspension and removal procedures, allowing the Governor to suspend or remove a member for misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, neglect of duty (including absence from 3 consecutive meetings or less than 50% attendance in a calendar year), or upon Board recommendation.

  • Updates statutory language to use active voice, singular form, list formatting, and replace "party" with "person" throughout the chapter for consistency and clarity.

  • Includes conditional effective date provisions: Section 8 does not take effect if SB 88 is enacted before January 1, 2023, and Section 11 does not take effect if SB 119 is enacted before January 1, 2023.
