Stronger disability rights for people in Delaware

Delaware’s Equal Accommodations Law includes disability protections under federal Section 504 and its rules as they existed on January 1, 2025. These protections must be read as broadly as state and federal law allows. The law also includes added rights for protected groups and public accommodation requirements from applicable federal or state laws. Places of public accommodation must follow those requirements. Outside this section, references to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act in Delaware statutes or regulations mean Delaware’s Equal Accommodations Law.
