WILMINGTON — Today, Governor Matt Meyer issued the following statement in response to the Delaware Supreme Court unanimously upholding Senate Bill 21:   

“Delaware is the gold standard locale for global companies to do business, as it has been for more than 100 years, and today’s Supreme Court decision further affirms that fact. The Delaware franchise remains strong because of our state’s commitment to providing clear and predictable corporate governance rules and our ability to sustain a business-friendly environment.  
 
“This past year was a period of monumental growth for Delaware, with a sharp increase in corporate incorporations in 2025, both in absolute terms and relative to other states. In short, SB-21 is working, and I’m glad it will continue to be the law.”
