Which entity may enact local laws in Guam?

The Guam Legislature has the authority to enact local laws in Guam. This legislative body is responsible for creating statutes and regulations that govern the territory and address various local issues, including public safety, education, and infrastructure. The Guam Legislature consists of elected representatives who represent the interests of the residents of Guam, allowing for laws to be tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the community.

While the Federal Government has jurisdiction over certain aspects of Guam's governance, particularly those relating to federal law, it does not have the power to enact local laws specific to the territory's day-to-day governance. Local community boards may participate in governance by advising on local issues or providing input to the legislative process, but they do not have the authority to enact laws on their own. The Office of the Governor plays an important role in the legislative process by proposing legislation and implementing laws, but it does not have the legislative power to create laws independently. Therefore, the appropriate and correct entity empowered to enact local laws in Guam is indeed the Guam Legislature.
