On April 17, 2025 the Delaware Senate passed the Ron Silverio/Heather Block Delaware End-of-Life Options Act (HB 140) in a vote of 11-8 with two Senators absent. HB 140 now awaits consideration by Governor Matt Meyer, who publicly stated he will sign it into law following its historic first passage by the Delaware General Assembly last June and tragic veto by former Governor Carney in September.
Lawmakers need to hear from you. Urge them to make passage of HB 140 a top priority in the 2025 legislative session.
