The Guam Legislature held a public hearing on June 11, 2025, focusing on Bill 99, which aims to enhance the process for obtaining driver's licenses and strengthen Guam's regional partnerships. Senator Telo T. Taitague led the discussion, emphasizing the bill's broader implications beyond just licensing.

During the meeting, Senator Barnett expressed appreciation for the opportunity to address concerns regarding the bill and highlighted the importance of incorporating feedback from the Guam Police Department (GPD) into the final testimony. Senator Barnes, who closed the discussion on Bill 99, reiterated that the legislation is designed to recognize Guam's role in the region and facilitate easier access to services for residents and visitors alike.

Barnes thanked the Department of Parks and Recreation for their testimony and encouraged ongoing collaboration with community members to refine the bill. She expressed optimism that with thoughtful implementation, the legislation could significantly benefit those who call Guam home, even temporarily.

The hearing concluded with a commitment to address any further questions and a transition to the next item on the agenda, Bill 125-38, introduced by Senator Sean Gomitau Thao. The discussions reflect a proactive approach by the Guam Legislature to enhance local governance and community engagement.
