A measure has also been introduced that looks to update Guam’s
Open Government Law relative to commissions and boards. Bill 233 introduced
by Sen. Bob Klitzkie and co-sponsored by his 14 colleagues would add elected
boards and commissions to the open government law which only now includes
appointed ones.
Said Klitzkie, “I’ve been a proponent of the open government
law for a long, long time and I think that it is important that we pay
attention to these things to make our government more open and transparent
as we possibly can. So I’m really happy that the other 14 senators
signed onto Bill 233.”
Most notably, Klitzkie’s legislation will update the open government
law to make it applicable to the Guam Education Policy Board and Consolidated
Commission on Utilities. Klitzkie said the incident involving a meeting
among certain education policy board members was the driving force behind
this measure.
