The 38th Guam Legislature's budget session took a dramatic turn as the committee of the whole reconvened after a brief recess, highlighting the importance of maintaining order in legislative proceedings. Earlier in the day, a ruling by the chair to keep discussions orderly was not followed, prompting a temporary halt in the session until 6 PM.

As the session resumed, the chair emphasized the need for compliance with legislative rules to ensure the effective continuation of the people's work. The focus quickly shifted to proposed amendments, with Senator Borah announcing the withdrawal of his amendment after discussions with fellow board members. The chair confirmed that there were no objections to this withdrawal, allowing the session to move forward.

With the amendment discussion concluded, the committee closed Chapter 2, Part 1 of the budget agenda, signaling progress in the legislative process. The session's emphasis on order and cooperation reflects the ongoing commitment of Guam's lawmakers to navigate the complexities of the budget effectively. As the legislature continues its work, the focus remains on ensuring that all members adhere to established protocols for a smoother legislative experience.
