Division of Legislative Services

Registrar of Regulations

The Division’s Office of the Registrar of Regulations publishes the monthly Register of Regulations, an official state publication containing emergency, proposed, amended, and final regulations. The Registrar is also responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining electronic versions of the Delaware Constitution, Delaware Code, Laws of Delaware, Administrative Code, Delaware Regulations, and Delaware’s Town Charters. The Registrar ensures its electronic documents comply with the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act, which Delaware adopted in 2014.

The Registrar also publishes print versions of the Delaware Constitution, Delaware Landlord-Tenant Code, and Divorce Code, available through the Division’s Legislative Information Office (Bill Room).
