Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Hearing Aid Loan Bank Program.
AI Summary
This bill repeals Chapter 26A in Title 16 of the Delaware Code, which relates to the Hearing Aid Loan Bank Program. Originally established in 2003, the program was designed to temporarily lend hearing aids to children under 3 years old, with initial 6-month loans that could be extended by the Program Manager for an additional 3 months. Over time, the need for this program has significantly decreased, rendering it obsolete. As a result, the Division of Public Health no longer maintains stocks of hearing aids for loan, making the complete repeal of the program's legal framework appropriate. By eliminating this chapter of the Delaware Code, the state is formally acknowledging that the Hearing Aid Loan Bank Program is no longer active or necessary.
