Guam § 2106 - Equal Rights for Women.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 2106 — Equal Rights for Women., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2106. Equal Rights for Women.
(a) The Legislature finds that the proposed “Equal Rights Amendment”
to the United States Constitution whereby women are to be treated under law
equally with men is an appropriate expression of law that should apply to
Guam, but also finds that even if such amendment is ratified by the
necessary number of States, it is not at all clear that the provisions thereof
will apply to Guam, since not all of the U. S. Constitution so applies and the
proposed amendment itself speaks only of a “State.” The Legislature has
therefore determined to enact as local law the provisions of the proposed
amendment.
(b) Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on
account of sex. All laws, rules, regulations and executive orders with the
force of law which are inconsistent with this section are hereby repealed to
the extent of such inconsistency.
COL1312018
(c) The Attorney General shall, within six (6) months after the effective
date of this Act, submit a report to the Legislature enumerating therein all
laws, rules, regulations and executive orders with the force of law which are
inconsistent with the provisions of Subsection (b) foregoing.
