(Dover, DE – January 30, 2026) – The Delaware Healthcare Association (DHA) issued the following statement from Brian Frazee, President & CEO, after Senate Bill 213 was signed into law on Friday. The law codifies the settlement agreement reached on the HB 350 litigation.

“The signing of Senate Bill 213 marks the end of a two-year debate on the House Bill 350 law and welcomes a new era of collaboration to improve healthcare affordability. We have always shared the same goals – high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare for all Delawareans – and now we can move forward together. Delaware hospitals continue to support transparency and accountability to drive affordability. As we face unprecedented uncertainty on the national level, solving for healthcare at home deserves an all-hands-on-deck collaborative approach. We are grateful for Governor Meyer’s administration, House and Senate legislative leadership, and the Delaware General Assembly for their swift action to pass this legislation. We stand ready to continue partnering on collaborative solutions that not only drive affordability but build on Delaware’s ranking as the #1 state in the nation for hospital quality.”
