Guam - Currently only police officers can issue citations for throwing your garbage anywhere but in the trash. But local litterbugs may have more eyes on them - if a bill introduced by Speaker Judi Won Pat (D) becomes law.
The speaker said her proposal, outlined in Bill 369, "[Allows] them to ticket those who are littering." The volunteers would receive training from the Guam Environmental Protection Agency, says Won Pat.
The fees for a littering fine vary depending on the offense.
