Summary
This Act amends Delaware Code provisions which govern the Delaware Health Facilities Authority (DFHA). The changes to Sections 9203(6) and 9205 confirm that the DHFA’s purpose and authority is to finance projects in the State of Delaware and not elsewhere. The change to Section 9204(a) confirms that appointed members of the DHFA “hold over” following the expiration of their terms until their successors have been appointed and accepted appointment, addressing a practical issue that has arisen previously. The change to Section 9204(b) cures an arguable ambiguity, clarifying that appointed members of the DHFA also may hold positions as DHFA officers. The change to Section 9208 corrects a minor technical error.
