Currently, when a public hearing on an Agency regulation is announced for not only a specific date and starting time but a specific ending time as well [example: on 4/22/10 from 7 pm until 9 pm], the public assumes that they can show up at 8:30 pm and be heard unless there are too many people already signed up to be heard. Unfortunately when a public hearing is sparsely attended the Agency may end the public hearing before the time advertised for its conclusion. This Act holds the Agency to the time frame announced for the public hearing.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Hearings.
