English and Chamorro are the official languages of Guam, provided, however, that the Chamorro language shall not be required for official recording of public acts and transactions.

SOURCE: Former Government Code § 3000.

COMMENT: Former Govt. Code § 3000, as originally enacted in 1952, was a prohibition against the use of Chamorro by government employees, hence its placement in Title 4 of the Govt. Code. However, with its amend- ment by P.L. 12-132 in 1974, the scope of the Section was enlarged to provide a scope which is island-wide. Therefore, this Section is being placed in this Title as a provision of general coverage, together with new
§ 707, which complements it.
