Thanks Neal! Very helpful!
Attached is Delaware's current bill to make permanent the telehealth expansion due to the PHE. It passed out of the House with a unanimous and bipartisan vote and is currently assigned to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee awaiting a hearing.
Sorry I wasn't able to get this to you sooner.
