Petition asking governor veto Bill 326 arrives at Adelup

A petition circulated by the Archdiocese of Agana to veto Bill 326 is officially in the hands of the governor. According to a release from the church, the petition contained over 4,500 signatures that were collected in the last four days.  

Bill 326 passed on session floor earlier this month. The legislation lifts the civil statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases, which the church predicts could result in bankruptcy and put an end to other church community services as well as force closure of Catholic schools.

Governor Eddie Calvo has until Friday to take action.

The bill, meanwhile, is with his legal team for review.
