24-139:36 (Feb. 7, 1998). Amended by P.L. 27-031:26 (Oct. 31, 2003).
COURT DECISIONS: The Supreme Court, in Pangelinan v. Gutierrez, 2000 Guam
11 (2000); affirmed by the Ninth Circuit as 276 F.3d 534 (1/10/2002), held P.L. 24-
139 not to have existed at all as a public law because it was Apocket vetoed@ by the Governor. Therefore, this section reverts to the way it read upon its original enactment as there were no amendments prior to P.L. 24-139. The main difference is to delete separate references the Superior and Supreme Court reporters and to reinstate what was placed in subsection (b) of § 8102 by P.L. 24-139:35.
