Whenever employees of the government of Guam are required to wear uniforms in the performance of their duties, such uniforms shall be furnished by the Government upon request of the department concerned, in accordance with regulations of such department. SOURCE: GC § 4110.2. Codified as § 6215, transferred by P.L. 21-059:7(e) (Sept. 27, 1991) and recodified to this section by the Compiler.

2017 NOTE: Past publications of the GCA have included § 6503.1 entitled “Uniform Allowance,” an uncodified provision added by P.L. 29-019:VI:58 (Sept. 29, 2007) which was codified by the previous Compiler. Since its codification, the applicability and the amount of the uniform allowance was amended by subsequent annual appropriations acts. Public Law 30-055:XIII:18 (Sept. 4, 2009) seemingly expanded the applicability of the uniform allowance beyond law enforcement and public safety uniformed personnel, as follows: “Uniform allowance authorized in this Act shall not be less than Three Hundred Fifty Dollars ($350) for the Fiscal Year and shall be issued to the employees no later than the end of the first quarter of FY 2010.” This language and amount applied to the uniform allowance for FY2011 pursuant to P.L. 30-196:XIII:17 (Sept. 1, 2010). Starting with FY2012, the amount of the uniform allowance was reduced to $150 for each fiscal year. See P.L. 31-077:XIII:17 (Sept. 20, 2011) (FY2012); P.L. 31-233:XIII:18 (Sept. 7, 2012) (FY2013); P.L. 32-068:XIII:15 (Sept. 11, 2013); P.L. 32-068:XIII:15 (Sept. 11, 2013) (FY2014); P.L. 32-181:XIII:10 (Sept. 5, 2014) (FY2015); P.L. 33-066:XIII:11 (Sept. 5, 2015) (FY2016); and P.L. 33- 185:XIII:11 (Sept. 10, 2016) (FY2017); P.L. 34-042:XIII:11 (Sept. 16, 2017) (FY2018); P.L. 34-116:XIII:10 (Aug. 24, 2018) (FY2019). Because § 6503.1 is essentially an annual appropriation amount, it is inappropriate for codification, and will be removed from future publications of the GCA pursuant to the authority granted to the Compiler by 1 GCA § 1606. Determining the amount of the uniform allowance, if any, requires consulting the annual appropriations act for the relevant fiscal year.
