In plain language
This Act removes specific properties from the Town of Cheswold's limits.
The Act adjusts the territorial limits of the Town of Cheswold by removing certain properties within the Nobles Pond development. It requires a two-thirds majority vote for passage due to constitutional requirements.
Summary
This Act removes from the Town of Cheswold certain parcels of real property within the Nobles Pond development that are currently within the territorial limits of the Town of Cheswold. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a municipal charter, whether directly, by amendment to a specific municipality’s charter, or indirectly, by a general law.
