Guam - Governor Eddie Calvo signed several bills into law one of which changes fire code violations from being misdemeanors to civil violations with graduating monetary penalties for each reoccuring offense. One bill didn't get the governor's signature and was vetoed. A bill would have established a qualifying certificate review board. According to Calvo he called the legislation "redundant" because a review board process is already conducted through the Guam Economic Development Authority.
