The measure is known as the Designated Beneficiary Agreement.  If enacted into law, it will allow individuals who enter into this legal union to receive benefits that range from health and life insurance to GovGuam employee retiree benefits. Bill 212 was introduced by Senator Jim Espaldon, who called the legislation an alternative to Bill 185, introduced by Vice-Speaker BJ Cruz as The Domestic Partnership Bill.  Tonight's meeting is to receive a consensus on the legislation from Guam's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
