Delaware budget, debt, and interest

The May 4 fiscal note projected FY2027 appropriated-special-fund recurring costs of $86,605 plus $107,000 one-time costs, followed by recurring costs of $117,214 in FY2028 and $119,526 in FY2029. These were proposal estimates before House Amendment 1, not enacted appropriations or actual spending. Vetoed September 30, 2026; these provisions were proposed, not enacted by this bill. The complete retained history contains no override or later enactment. The original veto message has not been retained, so the governor’s reasons are not asserted. No measured change in prices, pay, spending or outcomes is established. The Section 218 exception concerned fines or imprisonment under that particular section for licensed individual electricity sales agents; it was not general immunity. The May 4 fiscal note predates House Amendment 1 and estimates administrative costs, not an appropriation or spending caused by the veto.

HS 2 for HB 110, enacted as Volume 84, Chapter 402, requires specified Medicaid, private-insurance and state-employee plans to cover lawful pregnancy-termination services. Medicaid coverage has a $750 annual per-person maximum; specified private plans may apply that cap. Covered services generally have no cost sharing, with express federal-plan-status exceptions. Medicaid services use federal funds when permitted and state funds otherwise. Medicaid and state-employee provisions start January 1, 2025. Private-policy applicability follows issuance, renewal or specified policy changes after December 31, 2025. Plan coverage, network requirements, eligible religious-employer exclusions and federal-plan-status exceptions remain. Approval does not establish care delivered, actual program spending or improved health outcomes.

The April 22 fiscal note projected FY2027 state costs of $119,286 and local costs of $104,449, with a reported total of $223,736. The reported total is $1 above the displayed components’ sum. Costs were estimates for the vetoed proposal, not enacted appropriations or actual spending. Vetoed September 30, 2026; these provisions were proposed, not enacted by this bill. The complete retained history contains no override or later enactment. The original veto message has not been retained, so the governor’s reasons are not asserted. No measured change in prices, pay, spending or outcomes is established. This was a salary-placement proposal for covered school staff, not a blanket raise, a hiring requirement, or a health-insurance expansion. The fiscal note’s inflation assumptions are forecast inputs, not measured CPI.

SB 150, enacted as Volume 85, Chapter 209, creates an affordable rental housing revolving-loan program within the Housing Development Fund. It supports eligible rental projects, interest credits to a 1% payment rate and rents capped at the lesser of basic rent or 30% of a tenant’s adjusted income. Loans may be amortized for up to 50 years but have payment terms of no more than 30 years. The rent rule applies to financed housing projects, rather than all Delaware rentals. Eligibility, appropriations and DSHA policies govern operation; approval does not prove funded loans, built units, lower statewide rents, issued debt or a measured fiscal balance change.

The March 9 revised fiscal note projected costs of $343,389 in FY2027, $363,993 in FY2028 and $371,272 in FY2029. These were estimates for the vetoed salary proposal, not enacted appropriations or actual spending. Vetoed September 30, 2026; these provisions were proposed, not enacted by this bill. The complete retained history contains no override or later enactment. The original veto message has not been retained, so the governor’s reasons are not asserted. No measured change in prices, pay, spending or outcomes is established. This was compensation for eligible school social workers, not health-insurance coverage or a measured improvement in student health. The revised fiscal note’s salary-growth and inflation assumptions are forecast inputs, distinct from the proposed 6% base-salary supplement.
