Bill Number	Sponsor	Summary/Description	Committee Meeting Info	Date	Time
HB 25	Longhurst	Declares that the $300 rebate issued last year is a disaster relief payment; this means it is not considered part of a person's gross tax income and is therefore non-taxable.	House Administration	Wednesday, 1/11/23	12pm
HB 34	K. Williams	Requires school boards and charter schools to allow public comment for each agenda item before voting on them at meetings.	House Education	Wednesday, 1/11/23	3pm
HB 31	Bush	Gives a property tax credit of up to $400 for seniors who have been domiciled in Delaware for 3 years or more, which would increase to $500 after 10 years. Currently, the credit is $500 after 10 years. While seniors should get the support they need to live with dignity, this bill could take much needed funding away from schools.	House Education	Wednesday, 1/11/23	3pm
HB 29	Hensley	Increases the senior property tax credit from $500 to $750. While seniors should get the support they need to live with dignity, this bill could take much needed funding away from schools.	House Education	Wednesday, 1/11/23	3pm
