NU Online News Service, May 19, 2003, 5:23 p.m. EDT – Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, a Democrat, has signed a bill that requires state employees to take active steps to receive group life coverage.

Up till now, the state has provided life coverage for employees almost automatically. Employees have had to expressly reject the coverage to get out of the program.
