A bill that could strip Delaware counties of the power to deny certain electric substation applications tied to large renewable energy projects has cleared a major hurdle in the General Assembly.

A new bill introduced in Delaware’s Senate could bring stronger protections for people living in manufactured home communities. Senate Bill 40, introduced on Jan. 10, aims to address landlord violations and improve living conditions for tenants.

Under the bill, the current Commission on Veterans Affairs would be integrated into the new department.
