The Senate Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee heard testimony on two substantive bills: HB 191, which would prohibit non-human entities including AI systems from obtaining medical licenses or using protected clinical titles in Delaware, and SB 231, which would extend an existing 6% salary supplement to school social workers who hold a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. No formal votes were recorded for any item on the agenda.
