The purpose of this Chapter is to promote simplicity, economy, efficiency, modernization, and streamlining of the delivery of services by all departments, bureaus, agencies, commissions, or other instrumentalities, whether autonomous, semi-autonomous, or non- autonomous in the Executive Branch of the government of Guam, including all line agencies and the A.B. Won Pat International Airport Authority, the Port Authority of Guam, the Guam Power Authority, the Guam Waterworks Authority, the Guam Visitors Bureau, the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority, and the Guam Economic Development Authority. This goal can be accomplished by:

(a) Determining which statutes or functions as contained in the Guam Code Annotated, mandated by law or integrated via the Guam Administrative Rules and Regulations hamper or are contrary to the core mission of individual entities, are antiquated, unfunded, underfunded;

(b) Eliminating duplication of services, activities, and functions not necessary to the efficient conduct of government through consolidation and integration; and

(c) Promoting the modernization and streamlining of government consistent with the public service needs of the citizenry by enhancing the skills of public service personnel through continuous training and education.

COMRIGHT-21 shall serve as the clearinghouse for all recommendations submitted by individual entities and provide the processes for the eventual disposition of such.
