The bill introduced by V. Anthony Ada and co-sponsored by several legislators aims to amend Chapter 61, Title 21 of the Guam Code Annotated by adding a new paragraph (o) to Section 61531. This new provision grants the Department of Public Works the authority to determine the minimum number of parking spaces required for homeless shelters on a case-by-case basis. The bill emphasizes that while the Department has this discretion, it must ensure that the minimum number of parking spaces designated for persons with disabilities, as mandated by existing Public Law, remains unchanged.

The bill includes specific legal language that clarifies the Department's responsibilities and limitations regarding parking space requirements for homeless shelters. Notably, it states that the Department's determinations must not diminish the parking provisions for individuals with disabilities. This legislative change is intended to provide flexibility in accommodating homeless shelters while maintaining compliance with accessibility standards.
