Guam Territorial Legislature

The Guam Territorial Legislature is the lawmaking body of Guam, comprising two chambers: the Guam Legislature (the House of Representatives) and the Guam Senate. It is responsible for creating, amending, and passing laws to govern the island, control budgets, and oversee government agencies. Members are elected by residents of Guam and serve specific terms. The legislature plays a crucial role in shaping policy, addressing local issues, and representing the interests of Guam’s people within the framework of its status as an unincorporated U.S. territory.
