2014 NOTE: In print publications of the Government Code, § 23362 included a reference to § 23131(c), codified as 16 Guam Code Ann. 3401. The reference to § 23131(c)appears to have been a typographical error. Section
23151(c), codified as 16 Guam Code Ann. § 3606(c), sets forth procedures for the sale of abandoned vehicles and appears to be the intended reference.
