Guam - Over time, the criminal code has been amended and expanded leaving the language regarding minimum sentencing to become muddled. And because of this, Senator Brant McCreadie has introduced Bill 99 aimed at ensuring that proper sentencing of those convicted of crimes is carried out.

The measure would clarify the minimum sentencing for people convicted of crimes and ensures any individual who is convicted of a crime with a defined minimum punishment shall have no less than that punishment imposed on them.
