This Act amends the Charter of the Town of Selbyville to allow the Town to impose an impact fee to contribute to the costs of operations of volunteer fire companies, ambulance companies, public libraries, or police departments providing services within the Town. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a charter issued to a municipal corporation.
