Bill Number: B 92-38

Title: AN ACT TO ADD A NEW § 1041 TO CHAPTER 10, TITLE 1, GUAM CODE ANNOTATED, RELATIVE TO DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER AS “VETERANS SERVICE RECOGNITION MONTH” IN GUAM AND ESTABLISHING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES TO HONOR AND SUPPORT VETERANS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.

Introduced: November 27, 2025

Classification: bill

Purpose and intent

The bill seeks to formally designate November as “Veterans Service Recognition Month” in Guam and to establish programs and activities to honor and support veterans throughout the month. It would codify this designation by adding a new section (§ 1041) to Chapter 10, Title 1 of the Guam Code Annotated.

Key provisions (as indicated by title)

New Codified Section: Adds a new § 1041 to Chapter 10, Title 1 of the Guam Code Annotated.

Designation of November: Establishes November as “Veterans Service Recognition Month” in Guam.

Programs and Activities: Requires or authorizes the establishment of programs and activities to honor and support veterans during the month. The specific programs and activities would be articulated in or enabled by the new § 1041 (text not provided here).

Who/what would be affected

Veterans and their families: The primary beneficiaries, through recognition events and support activities.

Guam government agencies: Agencies responsible for veterans affairs and public services would likely implement, administer, or coordinate the month’s activities.

Veterans organizations and groups: May participate in events, ceremonies, outreach, and program delivery.

Educational institutions and local communities/businesses: Could be involved in commemorations, education, and outreach activities as part of the recognition month.

Procedural and timeline considerations

Effective date and implementation: The bill introduces a new statutory designation and authorizes/obligates programs and activities; the exact timeline, funding, and implementation details would be defined in the text of § 1041 and any implementing rules.

Next steps for status tracking: To understand whether the bill has progressed, stalled, or become law, monitor Guam Legislature announcements, bill histories, and the Guam Code Annotated once § 1041 is enacted.

Potential impact

Provides formal recognition and a structured framework for veteran-related events and services each November.

Encourages government and community participation in honoring veterans.

May involve recurring annual activities and coordination across state and local agencies.

If you’d like, I can adjust the summary to align with any additional text from the bill’s actual § 1041 once it's available, or add a comparative side-by-side with similar memorial/designation bills from Guam or other jurisdictions.
