II. Summary of Oral Testimony

No testimony, either oral or written, was submitted to the Committee.

III. Findings and Recommendations

The Committee on General Governmental Operations and Reorganization finds that Bill 92 (LS) was crafted in order to address possible shortages within the Guam Fire Department that will occur when local firefighters who serve in the United States Armed Forces are activated. The Committee believes that this matter should have more discussion and is open for comment on the session floor. No testimony from any of the bill 's stakeholders was submitted. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Committee that Bill 92 (LS) be REPORTED OUT ONLY.
