# House Oversight Probes Delaware AI Framework

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has requested Delaware records by November 9, 2026, about the proposed Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC) framework, including how it was developed, outside contributors, safety risks, and liability. The proposal could allow AI agents to manage companies while limiting liability for their human or entity capitalizers, and may be introduced in the Delaware General Assembly in 2027. The inquiry does not announce a procurement or establish new requirements, but it puts AI-agent accountability and governance on the radar for public buyers and suppliers.

- The records deadline is **November 9, 2026**—one day after the current date. The committee provided a staff phone number for document delivery and questions.
- Government buyers and contractors working with agentic AI can review how their governance, safety, and liability documentation addresses the issues identified in the inquiry; the signal describes no new mandatory procurement requirement.
- Delaware Secretary of State Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez has invited companies building agentic systems to develop the framework with the state, creating a potential avenue for industry input as the proposal is considered.

### Key Quotes
> Delaware sees this and intends to set the norms for governing AI agents. The legal system has admitted new kinds of actors before. The stakes are higher now, and the timeline shorter with AI capabilities rapidly advancing. We invite the companies building agentic systems to develop the AIC framework with us.
> — Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez, Delaware Secretary of State
