An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Officers And Employees And Financial Disclosures.

Abstract

Presently, Title 29 of the Delaware Code § 5813(c) requires public officers to file financial disclosure forms on March 15 of each year. However, in certain years, for example, 2025, the statute calls for financial disclosures to be filed over the weekend, because March 15, 2025 fell on a Saturday. On weekends, the assistance of the Public Integrity Commission may not be available. This Act changes the deadline for filing financial disclosures to “on or before the third Wednesday of March” which will be a weekday and a regular business day. This Act also clarifies the statute by expressly stating that the financial disclosures may be filed “on or before” the new deadline, in keeping with the current practice of the Public Integrity Commission.
