Summary

Guam Omnibus Opportunities Act - Guam Land Return Act - Directs the Administrator of General Services, with specified exceptions, to notify the Government of Guam of any excess U.S. real property (including property within the Guam National Wildlife Refuge) in Guam and to transfer such property to the Government of Guam, provided it notifies the Administrator of its intention to acquire it (thus granting the Government of Guam the right-of-first refusal to such property). Guam Foreign Direct Investment Equity Act - Amends the Organic Act of Guam to declare that the Government of Guam's tax treatment of income made in Guam shall be at the same rate that would apply if Guam were a part of the United States for purposes of treaty obligations of the United States. Declares that betel nuts (also known as "areca nuts") shall not be considered to be adulterated for purposes of importation into the United States if such article is possessed by an individual for personal consumption. Amends the Housing Community Development Act of 1980 to revise the conditions for making assisted housing assistance available to a resident alien to declare that such alien may be a lawful resident in the United States and its territories and possessions (under the Compacts of Free Association between the Government of the United States and the Governments of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau). Provides that any such alien within Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall not be entitled to a preference in receiving such assistance over any U.S. citizen or national resident therein. Amends the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 to revise certain reporting requirements with respect to the impact of the Compact on U.S. areas to authorize the Governor of any of the U.S. territories or commonwealths or the State of Hawaii to report annually to the Secretary of the Interior (currently, the President must report to Congress) with respect to the financial and social impacts of the compacts of free association on the Governor's respective jurisdiction. Makes Guam eligible for Department of Justice block grants for State and local law enforcement assistance, including for violent crime reduction programs.
