5 GCAGOVERNMENT OPERATIONS CH. 3OFFICE OF PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
CHAPTER 36 OFFICE OF PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
NOTE: This chapter was added by P.L. 24-288:1 and repealed by P.L. 25-44:2, never having been implemented.
Public Law 25-44:1 states as that law’s intent:
Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that subsequent to the passage of Public Law Number 24-288, the United States Congress amended the 1950 Organic Act of Guam to allow I Liheslaturan Guåhan to create an elected Attorney General for Guam. At the same time, Public Law Number 24-288 contained a provision that the first elected Public Prosecutor would not be elected in the event that the Organic Act were amended to permit an elected Attorney General. However , the Attorney General of Guam cannot be elected until the year 2002.
I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that Guam has long been in need of an elected Attorney General, to bring accountability to the prosecution of criminals. I Liheslaturan Guåhan therefore intends that Public Law Number 24-288 be repealed and re-enacted to create an elected Attorney General of Guam.
NOTE : P.L. 28-068:IV:43 (Sept. 30, 2005) purported to repeal section 36105 of this chapter. However, the entire chapter was previously repealed as indicated in the note above by P.L. 25-044.
