Guamanian Legislature

The Guamanian Legislature, known as the Guam Legislature, is the territory's legislative body responsible for creating laws, adopting budgets, and overseeing government operations. It consists of 15 elected senators who serve two-year terms. The Legislature enacts legislation on issues like health, education, economic development, and public safety, reflecting the needs and interests of Guam’s residents. It operates independently but collaborates with the governor and other branches of government. Its authority is derived from the Organic Act of Guam, the territory’s founding legal framework, ensuring local governance and legislative representation for the island’s population.
