Delaware Law Article XII- NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
Article XII of the Delaware Constitution, as it currently stands, contains only a single section:
🏛️ Article XII – State Board of Health
Section 1 originally addressed the State Board of Health, outlining powers and establishing local boards of health.
However, this entire section has been formally repealed, and Article XII is now vacant (delcode.delaware.gov).
🔍 Summary
There are no active provisions under Article XII in the Delaware Constitution.
The article was repealed in full through legislative action (“69 Del. Laws, c. 385 and 70 Del. Laws, c. 115”), effectively removing the constitutionally mandated health board powers (delcode.delaware.gov).
✅ What This Means
Article XII no longer contributes to Delaware’s constitutional law—it has been left blank.
Issues related to public health are now governed by statutory law, administrative code, and executive authority, not constitutional mandate.
