Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008

Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host:


MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors. (You should be able to connect to your database(s) as normal for most of this maintenance window, but you may experience intermittent connectivity issues between midnight and 5:00am EDT.)

We have scheduled this maintenance for a time when traffic to most customers' sites is typically at its lowest. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we expect that the work we're doing will help improve your site's performance.

Acting Governor Signs 11 New Public Laws PDF Print E-mail
New law authorizes declaratory judgment requests for island's Chief Executive

July 23, 2008

Acting Governor Michael W. Cruz, M.D. yesterday took action on several legislative bills.

The new laws are as follows:

  • PL 29-93:  Authorizes the lease of the former Department of Land Management lot to the Chamorro Cultural Development and Research Institute, an organization that has volunteered to maintain the area as a public park.
  • PL 29-94:  Established as the Prison Industries Act of 2008, the new law authorizes the Department of Corrections to implement educational programs that focus on job skills and training to assist inmates in earning wages that may be applied to any debts owed.
  • PL 29-95:  Amends previous peace officer assault laws to include mayors, vice mayors and individuals who serve in a volunteer capacity in any government law enforcement agency as peace officers.
  • PL 29-96:  Officially prohibits dog fighting on Guam, implementing third degree felony charges on offenders. 
  • PL 29-97:  Clarifies the current law regarding the enhanced placement program for government employees affected by outsourcing or privatization.
  • PL 29-98:  Requires the incorporation of bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways during the planning and development of roadways.
  • PL 29-99:  Mandates all government of Guam vehicles to undergo the vehicle safety inspection process.
  • PL 29-100:  Removes the minimum prerequisite of a high school diploma or a General Education Development test for non-technical and non-administrative positions, increasing opportunities for many in our community to seek gainful employment.
  • PL 29-101:  Allows unused funds from the Air Ambulance Service Trust Account to be used for Medically Indigent Program payments.
  • PL 29-103:  Authorizes the governor of Guam to request declaratory judgments from the Supreme Court of Guam to interpret laws under the jurisdiction of the courts of Guam to decide upon questions affecting the powers and duties of the governor. The law ensures that declaratory judgments can only be issued when the matter is of great public interest and where normal process will cause undue delay.

Acting Governor Cruz signed the 11 bills into law late yesterday, including PL 29-102 authorizing the Guam Public School Superintendent to select a management team of unclassified deputy superintendents.
