§ 13103. Report to be Filed with the Election Commission.

(a) Each official shall file with the Election Commission, on or before April 22 of each calendar year,

a written report containing the financial information required by this Chapter covering the preceding

calendar year (or other year if the individual official files a Guam Income Tax Return covering a period

other than the calendar year). Each official shall also file a written felony conviction report within thirty

(30) days of conviction of a felony in court, or within thirty (30) days of enactment hereof, regardless of

whether an appeal may be or has been filed, and regardless of whether the case has been sealed. Each

candidate who is not an official shall file with the Election Commission on the date he files his petition for

candidacy, a written report containing the financial information required by this Chapter covering the

preceding calendar year (or other year if the individual official files a Guam Income Tax Return covering

a period other than the calendar year), and a written report itemizing any and all of his felony convictions,

whether public or under seal, that have not been dismissed upon successful appeal, vacated by a court, or

cleared by a grant of executive pardon. The felony conviction report is a statement describing each offense

for which a felony conviction was entered in a court of law, within or without the United States, sealed or

not, including the address of the court, date of conviction, and sentence imposed. The Executive Director

of the Election Commission shall grant extensions for the filing of financial reports herein required by

officials; provided, however, that such extension shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days beyond

April 22 of each calendar year.

(b) The reports required to be filed under Subsection (a) of this Section shall be verified in the manner

permitted by 6 GCA § 4308 (Unsworn Declaration Under Penalty of Perjury).

(c) All reports filed pursuant to this Section shall be maintained by the Election Commission as public

records available for inspection. Copies of the reports shall be furnished to the public, upon the payment of

reasonable copying fees. The Executive Director of the Election Commission shall issue a certificate

certifying that an official or candidate has filed his reports as required by this Chapter.

(d) If an official or candidate dies after he has been granted an extension for filing the financial

disclosure report, the Executive Director of the Election Commission shall have a statement placed in the

file of the official or candidate that states: “Unable to file Financial Disclosure Report as a result of death

on _____________ (date of death)”.
