Presiding officer (Speaker) called the sixth special session to order and a motion (moved by Majority Whip Senator Cabo) to adopt the special session agenda dated 04/11/2026 was made and carried with no objections.
The Guam Legislature held a sixth special session and Committee of the Whole to consider Bill 16‑s, a proposed $25 million general‑fund appropriation for emergency response and recovery ahead of an approaching typhoon (Sinlaku). Legislators questioned BBMR Director Lester Carlson about the breakdown between proactive response and post‑storm recovery, accountability, FEMA reimbursements, and whether rainy‑day funds or other existing balances should be used. The committee took several procedural votes to adopt the agenda, waive items, and place Bill 16‑s on the second‑reading file and heard detailed questioning of administration officials.
