SOURCE: Added by P.L. 13-151; amended by P.L. 15-039 and P.L. 15-
123.Repealed and reenacted by P.L. 16-120.

COMPILER’S COMMENT: This Section was enacted in response to widespread interest in continuing forms of light gambling used at the time of the Guam Island Fair to raise money for the various public and charitable institutions which use the Fair to raise money. Also, it was recognized that the July 4th and Liberation Day fairs had expanded towards each other so that itw as appropriate to have only one fair encompassing the two dates.

However, § 2 of P.L. 13-151 was omitted from the new Criminal and Correctional Code due to the fact that the Criminal & Correctional Code was in the Legislature, with all corrections made to it, when this law was passed. Rather than amending that Code with this exception, it is thought better to incorporate the exception to the gambling provisions of the Criminal Code (made by P.L. 13-151) into this Section dealing with the same subject, rather than separating the two. Obviously, this Section
must be read together with Chapter 64 of the Criminal and Correctional Code in order to get a fair meaning of both. See Opinion of the Attorney General 78-22.
