Sources, documents & methodology

A transparent reading list for the Delaware AIC initiative, with primary law and draft text prioritized over commentary.

How this monitor works

The site separates enacted statutes and resolutions from proposals, committee drafts, press releases, news reporting and legal analysis. Each status statement is tied to a dated record. Where media descriptions differ from the underlying text, the site flags the distinction rather than flattening it. For the AIC proposal, the June 2, 2026 draft text is treated as the controlling source for proposed statutory wording; news coverage is used to establish process developments and to attribute public positions, not to rewrite the draft.

Editorial rules

  • Status labels are literal: “enacted”, “draft”, “reported”, “expected” and “under review” are not interchangeable.
  • Primary documents lead: official bill text, code and government records are used wherever available.
  • Claims are attributed: criticism, advocacy and policy rationale are identified by their source rather than presented as settled fact.
  • Drafts can change: the June 2 text is a proposal and may differ substantially from any future introduced bill.
  • Corrections matter: if an official record changes, the page should be updated with the date and the underlying source.
