Steadier funding for Guam cancer programs
Beginning April 8, 2026, the Guam Cancer Trust Fund is exempt from the budget bureau’s controls on releasing funds. The Healthy Futures Fund must make monthly payments to the Trust Fund before the 20th of the following fiscal month. The full monthly amount must be released even when adopted revenue differs from projected General Fund revenue remaining after commitments. The Trust Fund’s administrator must submit a funding withdrawal schedule within 30 days after enactment; later annual schedules are due October 31. The Director of Administration must honor requests under the initial schedule and cannot withhold appropriated funds because schedules arrive after October 31. These rules protect timely funding for cancer programs and services, but specify no household payment or benefit amount.
