The validity of a Guam driver's license will be extended from three or five years to eight years under a newly signed law.
Sen. Roy Quinata's Bill 174-37, now P.L. 37-126, reduces lines and wait times at the Department of Revenue and Taxation. "By making driver’s licenses valid for up to eight years, this law allows patrons to save valuable time and DRT resources," according to the governor's office.
Bill 174-37 was among the three bills, signed into law last week, which seek to streamline the government of Guam's licensing and application processes.
Acting Gov. Josh Tenorio also signed Bill 124-37, sponsored by Sen. Sabina Perez, which streamlines the process for individuals applying to be insurers on Guam by requiring them to submit their applications using the Uniform Certificate of Authority Application from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The bill is now P.L. 37-127.
Speaker Therese Terlaje's Bill 338-37, which is now P.L. 37-128, expands the Guam Alcoholic Beverage Control Board’s licensing ability to include a new Instructional Tasting License.
The license allows the licensee to provide tastings of small samples of wine or beer at authorized breweries, wineries, wine boutiques, or wine shops.
This new law provides residents and tourists access to events to explore and encounter new beverages, and local businesses can develop and expand their customer base and diversify their products.
