On Friday, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero signed two pieces of highly anticipated legislation into public law. First up, Public Law 38-125 allows the Guam International Airport Authority to extend its existing concession agreement.

The maga’håga says during this time of “continued global economic uncertainty”, this law stands to help protect jobs, economic activity, and stability in Guam’s tourism industry.

She adds that every dollar a concession pays is a dollar Guam's families will save.

And the second measure, Public Law 38-126 waives the 180-day school calendar requirement following disruptions caused by Super Typhoon Sinlaku and the hardships our island’s students, families, teachers, and school employees faced in its aftermath.

Governor Leon Guerrero states that this waiver will provide the flexibility each group needs after enduring such a major weather event. In her passage message, the governor thanked senators for their swift action on each of the measures and unanimous support for the school calendar waiver.

“In moments like these, people expect the government to work together. And on behalf of our students and families, I appreciate that cooperation," Leon Guerrero said.

Now she adds that similar efforts should remain focused on helping our island recover together. Because recovery is not only about reopening roads or restoring power – it’s about restoring stability and helping families regain a sense of normalcy after difficult times.

“That is what we are doing tonight," she stated. "Acting responsibly, planning honestly, and continuing to move guam forward together.”
