SOURCE: GC § 6252 as added by P.L. 12-034:5 as GC § 6251 (July 3,
1973); recodified to § 6271 by the Editor of the 1974 Supplement to the Government Code. Repealed by P.L. 18-047:2 (Jan. 2, 1987); however, P.L. 19-005:139 (Aug. 21, 1987) later repealed P.L. 18-047. Renumbered by the Compiler and codified to Article 2 of this Chapter.

COMMENT: Notwithstanding the express repeal of this section by P.L.
18-047:2, the previous Compiler found that this section was revived upon the enactment of P.L. 19-005 (Aug. 21, 1987). The common law rules of statutory construction apply in Guam pursuant to 1 Guam Code Ann. § 700. “”Under
the common law rules of interpretation, the repeal of a repealing statute revives the original enactment where such repeal is accomplished by express provision.”” Sutherland Statutory Construction, 7th ed., § 23:32 (2009). Because the enactment of the Sunshine Law of 1987, enacted by P.L. 19-005:136, did not include a provision for charging fees for certified copies of public records, § 10202 was revived and provided statutory authority to charge for these copies.

2013 NOTE: Pursuant to the authority granted by 1 GCA § 1606, numbers and/or letters were altered to adhere to the Compiler’s alpha- numeric scheme.
