# Delaware Restricts Mandatory Meeting Penalties

Delaware enacted HB 84, signed by Governor Matt Meyer on September 30, 2026. The law prohibits employers from penalizing employees for skipping certain mandatory meetings where management discusses politics, religion, or union membership. It does not establish a procurement opportunity or specify an effective date or implementation guidance. Government contractors and other employers operating in Delaware should review workplace meeting and disciplinary practices in light of the new law.

- Contractors with Delaware operations may need to assess whether their meeting and discipline practices fall within the law’s scope.
- The signal provides no contract, funding, or solicitation information; its relevance is employer compliance rather than a procurement opportunity.
