The Council shall undertake an economic program of Guam for the purpose of formulating a short and long-range economic master plan for Guam which shall be approved by resolution.

2022 NOTE: Reference to “”Territory”” replaced with “”Guam”” pursuant to
1 Guam Code Ann. § 420.

COMMENT: The Legislature does not have the power to approve, with binding effect, by resolution any matter which will have the force and effect of law. See Attorney General Opinion PCF #85-1031; see also INS v. Chada, 103 S.Ct. 2754 (1983). To avoid any question of validity, and because this section does not mention the body required to adopt the resolution, the Compiler assumes that the body which must pass the resolution is the Council, itself.
