I'm a longtime Delawarean.
For context, Seaford, the city to which this would apply, is in a section of the state pejoratively known as "Slower Lower" Delaware. It's largely rural and largely conservative -- at least compared with the top part of the state and the beach areas.
The bill's sponsors are both Republicans, who hold minorities in both the state House and the state Senate. As you can see in this map of 2020 presidential election results, although the state is heavily blue, Seaford is in the only county where Trump got a majority of votes: https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/delaware/ https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/delaware/
My take is that this is a political statement more than a legitimate legislative attempt.
