Such action may be, by way of administrative fine, suspension or removal, and in the case of members

of the classified service shall be taken pursuant to the Personnel Law. Such action shall not preclude

prosecution for any criminal offense.

(b) At the discretion of the head of any department, agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction

over peace officers as defined within § 5.55 of Chapter 5 of Title 8 of the Guam Code Annotated, may

allow government vehicles to be driven directly from duty to the home of a peace officer and directly

back to duty as provided:

(1) No government vehicle shall be assigned until I Maga’hågan/Maga’låhen Guåhan or the

Judicial Council approves procedures and corresponding rules in the use of a vehicle specifically

because the Peace Officer could not proceed to duty except by using the government vehicle. The

implementation of such procedures and corresponding rules shall take effect upon the Speaker of

I Liheslaturan Guåhan receiving a copy thereof. Any subsequent modification or changes shall

follow as such.

(2) That a marked Police motorcycle may be driven to and from the home of the Police

Officer to which the motorcycle is assigned at the end of the officer’s tour of duty.

violating this Subsection. Such action may be by way of an administrative fine, suspension or

removal, and in the case of members of the classified service shall be taken pursuant to the

Personnel Law. Such action shall not preclude prosecution for any criminal offense.

(c) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any vehicle assigned for the use of I

Maga’hågan/Maga’låhen Guåhan, I Sigundo Maga’hågan/Maga’låhen Guåhan, the Speaker of I

Liheslaturan Guåhan, the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Guam, and the Chief Justice of the
