Guam - Legislation has been introduced aimed at creating a
uniform standard for the duration of lease contracts for public real
property or facilities. Bill 69 would
prohibit GovGuam agencies from entering into leases for terms of longer than 5
years. The measure however does allow the governor, or in the case of
autonomous agencies to grant exceptions by filing a "determination of
need" prior to any solicitation.
