Delaware lawmakers have not met in person at Legislative Hall in Dover since before the start of the pandemic, and it’s not clear when they’ll meet in the building again.
Lawmakers will be sworn-in virtually on Jan. 12 to start the 151st session of the General Assembly. The swearing-in and other first day ceremonial activities will be live-streamed on YouTube, state House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf announced last week.
“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a brutal toll on families across Delaware, and after much discussion and deliberation, we determined that there was simply no way for the General Assembly to safely convene our new legislative session in person,” the Rehoboth Beach Democrat said.
