NOTE: The Government Code reference to §19385 [§ 24712] in
Subsection (a) was apparently a typographical error and should have read
§19386 [§ 24801 of this Title]; this has been corrected by Compiler.

The original Government Code made reference to the Secretary of Guam. This position was abolished in 1970, at the time the Governor was first elected. This position was replaced by the Lieutenant Governor. The Compiler has made the appropriate change.
