Terms Used In 2 Guam Code Ann. § 2106
- Amendment: A proposal to alter the text of a pending bill or other measure by striking out some of it, by inserting new language, or both. Before an amendment becomes part of the measure, thelegislature must agree to it.
) The Legislature finds that the proposed “”Equal Rights Amendment”” to the United States Constitution whereby women are to be treated under law equally with men is an appropriate expression of law that should apply to Guam, but also finds that even if such amendment is ratified by the necessary number of States, it is not at all clear that the provisions thereof will apply to Guam, since not all of the U. S. Constitution so applies and the proposed amendment itself speaks only of a “”State.”” The Legislature has therefore determined to enact as local law the provisions of the proposed amendment.
(b) Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. All laws, rules, regulations and executive orders with the force of law which are inconsistent with this section are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
