Summary
This Act removes the 5-year term limit imposed upon hearing officers appointed by the Secretary of Labor. It also removes the political party affiliation rule when considering new candidates for the hearing officer position. The Act removes references to reappointments and clarifies that the removal of a hearing officer is made consistent with the State Merit Rules. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
