Governor also signs legislation to protect tenant rights and remove medical debt from credit reports

NEW CASTLE - On July 29, 2025, Governor Matt Meyer announced a partnership between the State of Delaware and national nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, leveraging $500,000 in state funds to purchase and eliminate up to $50 million in medical debt for an estimated 17,000 or more Delawareans. This initiative was a key piece of Governor Meyer’s FY2026 budget.

Governor Meyer also signed legislation protecting tenant records and removing medical debt from credit reporting to help Delawareans improve economic stability.

“Eliminating medical debt restores hope, stability, and dignity to people who’ve been unfairly burdened for seeking care,” said Governor Matt Meyer. “This partnership and the legislation we signed are part of a larger commitment to break down the structural barriers that keep people from getting ahead and building the secure, healthy lives they deserve. We’re building a state where your worst day doesn’t define your future.”
