COL1201065GCA GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS CH.41DELEGATE TO CONGRESS 1CHAPTER 41 DELEGA TE TO CONGRESS NOTE: GC § 15100, dealing with the Delegate to Congress was repealed and reenacted by P .L. 13 -11:5. In that law , the Director of Administration was made Certifying Officer for the contingency fund created therein. In P.L. 17-2:1, the Legislature added another § 15100 dealing with the same subject matter , but in a different manner . Since both Sections 15100 deal with the identical subject matter, but in differing and inconsistent ways, the Compiler will treat P .L. 17 -2 as repealing and reenacting P .L. 13 -11:5. It appears that the 17th Guam Legislature was unaware of the action of the 13th. § 41101. Establishment of Contingency Fund.
