A bill that would give the Customs and Quarantine Agency the authority to seize the proceeds or instruments of criminal activity, including drugs, raw materials and equipment, aircraft and vessels, money, firearms, and land received a public hearing on Tuesday. 
Sen. Mary Camacho Torres, sponsor of Bill 87, said it was meant to provide additional resources for the exclusive use of the agency to fund personnel, facilities, equipment and more, in order to more effectively perform their job.
According to Torres, a study by the University of Guam Regional Center for Public Policy published in February 2019 recommended that legislation create a fund for Customs that mirrored those in existence for GPD.
