title: "AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RIGHT OF WAY PLANS, NOTIFICATION OF PROPERTY DISPOSAL AND REPORTING DATES."
|
||
description: "This Act amends §137, Title 17 of the Delaware Code to allow for right of way acquisitions to commence upon the approval of final right of way plans on a parcel by parcel basis. This will improve project delivery by allowing acquisitions on finalized parcels to begin earlier. This Act also adds a requirement for notification to adjoining property owners when parcels with minimal independent utility are available for disposal. This Act amends the reporting date for properties being held for projects, properties deemed surplus, and for excess and unmarketable properties to be submitted by the end of the calendar year, which aligns it with other reporting requirements."

# Delaware HB 418 (151) — AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RIGHT OF WAY PLANS, NOTIFICATION OF PROPERTY DISPOSAL AND REPORTING DATES.
|
||
|
||
This Act amends §137, Title 17 of the Delaware Code to allow for right of way acquisitions to commence upon the approval of final right of way plans on a parcel by parcel basis. This will improve project delivery by allowing acquisitions on finalized parcels to begin earlier. This Act also adds a requirement for notification to adjoining property owners when parcels with minimal independent utility are available for disposal. This Act amends the reporting date for properties being held for projects, properties deemed surplus, and for excess and unmarketable properties to be submitted by the end of the calendar year, which aligns it with other reporting requirements.
