SB4 establishing an Inspector General in Delaware was signed into law on Thursday, 8/14/2025. This has been supported for many years by DelCOG, LWVDE and others.

LWVDE's Letty Diswood, Jack Young, & Linda Barnett are at the far right of photo 2, happy that the effort has finally come to fruition.
When we work together - and never give up. The Senate Bill 4 was made into law Thursday, 8/14/2025. It establishes the Office of Inspector General within state government. Photo shows Governor Matt Meyer signing the bill with legislators, cosponsors and public supporters including members of DelCOG, League of Women Voters and Others. Seated is former Rep. John Kowalko who has worked for 20 years to pass an Inspector General bill in the General Assembly. We now have an office for oversight and accountability that will act autonomously. Another photo of the bill signing, cropped to better show three League members at the right of the group.
