Delaware utility changes start later, without expiration
The law delays Chapter 44's public utility changes until January 31, 2026. It also removes their scheduled expiration. These timing changes apply back to Chapter 44's original enactment date. Chapter 44's existing retroactive rule does not limit this law's retroactive reach. That existing rule remains unchanged.
