To amend the Organic Act of Guam to provide an exception to the "public purpose" requirement for certain land transfers in the case of a transfer restoring such land to the original landowner or heirs, and for other purposes.

This bill changes a federal law that lets the federal government transfer excess land on Guam to the Government of Guam only for a public purpose. Under the bill, the public purpose requirement would not apply when the Government of Guam will later transfer that land back to the original landowner or the owner's heirs. Within 180 days, the Government of Guam must set up a process for these transfers and report on it to committees in the House and Senate. If a person who receives land this way sells it to a foreign person who is not an heir of the original owner, the sale would be reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
