The Delaware Senate advanced a wide-ranging agenda including a unanimous resolution urging PJM Interconnection to maintain electricity price collars amid a dramatic one-year price spike, a background check reform bill for home-care workers that took 18 months to negotiate, and a mini bond bill reallocating capital funds — all passing 21-0 — while HCR 95 on Muslim Heritage Month passed 18-3 with three senators not voting.

Senator Buckson objected to being asked to review and support the resolution on the fly, stating 'I don't know if I support it or not. You asked me to verify the language on the fly right now, which I guess for some senators making comments, that's easy to do. For me, I've acknowledged it's not because I value what it is that I'm voting on.' Senator Townsend responded that majority caucus members' names were already on it 'in the online world,' and Senator Hansen explained that the urgency was driven by PJM's comment period closing January 30th and that he had only received the resolution the day before. Senator Buckson ultimately voted yes.
