Guam senators are scheduled to go into session Monday to consider bills that would provide higher education benefits for veterans, impose tougher penalties for bomb scares and lengthen terms for Guam Board of Education members.
Bill 202-38 would allow tuition waivers for qualifying veterans or their dependents at Guam Community College or the University of Guam.
The bill would include 90 credit hours for undergraduate studies and 30 hours for graduate programs.
Bill 162-38 would expand the definition of terroristic conduct to include bomb threats in public areas. The bill would increase potential penalties and include fines of up to $25,000.
The bill drew support from the attorney general of Guam and the Guam Department of Education.
Bill 201-38 would change the terms for Board of Education members to four years, and the terms would be staggered to allow continuity between elections.
Currently, appointed members serve for three years and elected members serve for two years.
Session will begin at 9 a.m. in the Guam Congress Building.
