22 GCA BUSINESS R EGULATIONS CH. 56 EXPORT-DRIVEN M ANUFACTURING CHAPTER 56 EXPORT-DRIVEN MANUFACTURING SOURCE: This chapter was added by P.L. 24-075:1. § 56101. Legislative Intent. § 56102. Definition of Export-Driven Manufacture. § 56103. Prohibition Against Use of Temporary Foreign Labor in ExportDriven Manufacturing in Guam. § 56101. Legislative Intent. It is the Guam Legislature’s intent to regulate any potential future establishment of manufacturing business in Guam whose primary purpose is to manufacture products intended for export to the United States of America and elsewhere. While the expansion of Guam’s economy to include export manufacture is indeed welcomed, it is the intent of the Guam Legislature that such enterprises be prohibited from degenerating into improper working conditions. It is the policy that employees in such business not consist of temporary foreign workers imported into Guam specifically to work in such factories. § 56102. Definition of Export-Driven Manufacture. A business which manufactures a product intended primarily or in part for export beyond Guam is engaged in export-driven manufacturing for the purposes of this Chapter. § 56103. Prohibition Against Use of Temporary Foreign Labor in Export-Driven Manufacturing in Guam. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the use of any individual who is not either a permanent resident alien, as defined by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and is in possession of valid documentation to that effect, or a citizen of a nation in free association with the United States expressly permitted to enter the United States for the purpose of employment, or a citizen of the United States, as an employee in a manufacturing enterprise in Guam whose product is intended primarily, or in part, for export beyond the borders of Guam, is illegal. Any business or enterprise applying for licensing in Guam to engage in manufacturing of products wholly, or in part, for export shall attest, in writing, to their intended compliance with the provisions of this Section. Any willful 1 COL063006 22 GCA BUSINESS R EGULATIONS CH. 56 EXPORT-DRIVEN M ANUFACTURING violation of the provisions of this Section by a relevant manufacturing business shall result in the suspension of the enterprise’s license to do business in Guam for a period of no less than six (6) months. ---------- 2 COL063006 COL063006
