Findings and Policy

I Liheslaturan Guåhan determines that as of the Year 2000, the Guam Code Annotated has been updated with a General Index, Session Laws published through the Twenty-Third

(23rd)Guam Legislature, and the Administrative Rules republished. I Liheslatura finds that the Internet has come into wide-use and is now a preferred research vehicle since the first Compiler of Laws statute was enacted in 1978. Therefore, I Liheslatura determines that a regular program of publication, indexing, updating, and annotating the laws of Guam, both on paper and on the Internet, is imperative for the regular operations of both government and private interests having dealings with Guam, and therefore adopts this Chapter to provide for an office within the Judicial Branch to assure that the laws, administrative rules, court reports and other publications of Guam are timely published and regularly distributed.
