Bill > HJR1

This joint resolution establishes the Small Restaurant Regulatory Reform Task Force, a 15-member commission designed to review and potentially reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on small restaurants in Delaware. The task force will include members from the state legislature, key government agencies (such as Health and Social Services, Public Health, and Small Business), county representatives, the Delaware Restaurant Association, and a small business kitchen owner. The group's primary responsibilities include studying current regulations from the Department of Health and Social Services, identifying unnecessary financial or administrative burdens on small restaurants, proposing concrete steps to ease these regulations while maintaining public health and safety standards, and evaluating potential state funding needed to implement their recommendations. The task force will be required to choose two co-chairs, conduct meetings, and submit a comprehensive report to the General Assembly, Governor, and Legislative Services by June 1, 2026, detailing their findings and recommendations for regulatory reform.
