Subchapter II. Preparation of Supplements and Code
§ 210. Duties and powers of Revisors.
(a) At the close of each regular, annual session of the General Assembly, the Revisors shall prepare or cause to be prepared

a revised, recompiled, or revised and recompiled Delaware Code, or replacement or supplemental volume or volumes thereof,
which may, in the discretion of the Revisors, include updated annotations of court decisions.
(c) The Revisors may make and enter into all contracts and agreements, and execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments
and assurances, necessary or incidental to the performance of their duties and the execution of their duties and powers under
this chapter.

§ 211. Scope of editorial revision; omissions.
(a) In performing their duties and powers under § 210 of this title, the Revisors shall not alter the sense, meaning or effect
of any act of the General Assembly but they may:
(1) Renumber and rearrange sections or parts of sections;
(2) Transfer sections or divide sections so as to give to distinct subject matters a separate section number, but without
changing the meaning;
(3) Insert or change the wording of headnotes;
(4) Change reference numbers to agree with renumbered chapters or sections;
(5) Substitute the proper section or chapter number for the terms "this act," "the preceding section" and the like;
(6) Strike out figures where they are merely a repetition of written words and vice versa;
(7) Change capitalization for the purpose of uniformity;
(8) Correct manifest typographical and grammatical errors; and
(9) Make any other purely formal or clerical changes in keeping with the purpose of the revision.
(b) The Revisors shall omit all titles of acts, all enacting, resolving, and repealing clauses, all appropriation measures,
all temporary or local statutes, all declarations of emergency, and all validity, declaration of policy, and construction
clauses, except when the retention thereof is necessary to preserve the full meaning and intent of the law.
(c) The Revisors shall gender neutralize or otherwise insure that a solely masculine or feminine designation never occurs
unless it could only apply to one gender.

The Revisors shall, after consultation with the Legislative Council, upon such specifications and conditions as they shall

supplements and the revised or recompiled Delaware Code, and shall award a contract for such work to the lowest and best legal
publisher of recognized standing as such. The contract for supplements may, in the discretion of the Revisors, cover the supplements

would be advantageous to the State.
