To amend the Organic Act of Guam to provide an exception to the "public purpose" requirement for certain land transfers in the case of a transfer restoring such land to the original landowner or heirs, and for other purposes.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committees on Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill amends Guam’s Organic Act so that when excess government land is transferred back to the person who originally owned it or their heirs, the usual “public purpose” test does not apply. Guam must create a process for these transfers within 180 days and report it to the relevant congressional committees, and any resale of that land to a foreign buyer will trigger a national‑security review.
