Guam § 1114 - Penalties.

§ 1114. Penalties.

(a) Any person who violates any provision of this Article, or any valid rule or regulation promulgated

under this Article, or any valid Executive Order issued with respect to the operations of the Authority, or

who refuses or neglects to comply with any lawful order given order by the Executive Manager or his

delegate concerning the operation of the airports under the control of the Authority is guilty of a petty

misdemeanor.

(b) [No text]

(1) Any person who violates any provision of this Article, or any rule, regulation or order issued

thereunder, any Executive Order issued with respect to the operation of airports operated by the

Authority, or any rule, regulation or order issued thereunder, or any term, condition or limitation of

any permit, certificate or operating authority issued by the Authority shall be subject to a civil penalty

of not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for each violation. If such violation is a continuing

one, each day such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense; provided, that this

Subsection shall not apply to officers or employees of the United States or of Guam while the same

are engaged in official duties.

(2) Any civil penalty may be compromised by the Executive Manager, with the written

concurrence of the Board. The amount of such penalty, when finally determined, or the amount agreed

upon in compromise, may be deducted from any sums owed by the Authority to the person(s) charged.

(3) In case an aircraft is involved in a violation and the violation is by the owner or person in

command of the aircraft, then liability for such penalty shall devolve upon the person, corporation or

other entity which has assumed responsibility for the aircraft while the same is at any airport operated

by the Authority.

(4) Any person assessed a civil penalty may contest the same. If, for any reason, the person or

entity assessed fails to pay upon demand of the Executive Manager, the civil penalty may be collected

by the Authority through proceedings in the Superior Court of Guam against the person or entity,

brought by the Attorney for the Authority.
