The motion to amend was called and carried with no objections. Senator Metalta then moved to place Bill 103-38 COR as amended on the third reading file and to return it to its same place; that motion carried without objection. Later in the session the clerk read the title indicating Bill 103-38 COR amends chapter 51, title 17 and section 7 1 2 0 of chapter 7, title 2, Guam Code Annotated, to authorize temporary certification of peace officers and to authorize a manpower development fund for certification courses required by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission.
The bill passed on the third reading; the clerk announced the bill received 14 yays and 1 excused. The floor record shows the amendment changed the temporary certification window and that the bill also authorizes a manpower development fund tied to the training and certification courses required by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission; the transcript does not contain additional implementing details such as fund size, administrative rules, or exact qualifying criteria for temporary certification beyond the amended temporary period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","38th Guam Legislature Regular Session - July 31, 2025 PM PT 2","oneSentenceSummary","Senator Comitato moved and the Legislature approved a floor amendment making temporary peace officer certification apply for a six-to-nine-month window on Bill No. 103-38 COR and authorized a manpower development fund for required certification courses.","taxTitle","General Government Operations and Appropriations\t, Legislative, Guam, International","taxId",18139,"location","","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6148612,"Legislature passes bill requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration; 10-4 vote",1757,5987000,7744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5514962-d21c05064a85da6c4e70307342b387c8&start=5987&end=7744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5514962-d21c05064a85da6c4e70307342b387c8/thumbnail_5987000.jpg","/articles/6148612/Legislature-passes-bill-requiring-documentary-proof-of-US-citizenship-for-voter-registration-10-4-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6148612-a0ec52157396aa20cb4d18a7822ba37b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775452001&Signature=VpO3IHMXWDrl8fCMjizn5NIjwf4CjJEJ2eNXk-tSeuPjgJXWC9C1uUWixj1uaBcg3FXwxijv7VkhT6zUl07oK-pDq4mpJlhgf3xhqcyOTipXJyGYnwNIg-vu4tKTUSQM3e5jmumKMfQ-vmX3Z~psvvi-4rEH-O2EgtOK0q8q~C8wJvj12F~L2Mg8pu7-FCJWJX5nhMpgEuFBtmAy7BGuttwJDnvb3BmNsKP5eFbFCaiXFn8E04zkZ8Pi5T-zatoOcT2IwQCE8DzKlg-DKpHtm7e2VvRIBdne0iBKfoSTWGkGR7V~E5~Nc6C4WnQW8S6J2IcUq6Zl5ms-ssVy~gi7yw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Guam Legislature passed Bill No. 154-38 COR, which requires documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in Guam.

Several members recorded as \"pass\" or \"nay\" during the roll call; the final tally was announced on the floor as 10 yeas, 4 nays, 1 excused. The transcript does not list the specific documentary forms required by the bill on the floor record.
The bill amends chapters and subsections in Title 3 and Title 16 of the Guam Code Annotated, according to the floor title read by the clerk.

The committee report is more than 1,000 pages, and Schier said the substitute version will be uploaded before members are called back into session so they have time to review it before deliberations. \"It is over a thousand page document, so the committee report is currently being uploaded and will be available well before you call session again to introduce the substitute version,\" Schier said.
The motion to place the bill on the agenda carried with no objections. Speaker Blas and other members discussed a schedule: the Legislature will likely convene in session on the eighth (next week) to provide the substituted documentation to members and will reconvene on the afternoon of the eleventh to begin budget deliberations. The sponsor and staff said the substitute would be uploaded by the evening before the eighth so members would have the weekend and Monday morning to review before Monday afternoon introduction.
Members asked for clarification about whether they would receive the substitute in time to prepare amendments. One lawmaker asked whether the substitute would be \"significantly different\" from the introduced bill; committee leadership replied that members would need the weekend to review and that no deliberations would begin on the eighth, only the document upload and an introduction of the substitute on the eleventh.
The body agreed to the schedule, with several members urging that the substitute be made available as soon as it clears CORE so members and staff can start preparing. Schier said the Legislature would not begin deliberations until the eleventh and that members could request additional recess time if the weekend proved insufficient.
The motion to place Bill 44 on the agenda passed without objection, and members were told the substitute and committee report would be uploaded in advance of the next session call so review time is available.","Senator Duane Schier moved to place Bill 44 (the FY2026 budget act) on the session agenda and set a schedule for reviewing a committee substitute; lawmakers asked for the substitute and committee report to be uploaded well before consideration so members can review the more-than-1,000-page committee report and the roughly 190-page budget text.","actionData","errors"]
