2017 NOTE: Subitem designations added/altered in subsection (c)(4)
pursuant to the authority of 1 Guam Code Ann. § 1606.

NOTE: As added by P.L. 31-072:2, subsection (c)(1) included the definition of “”temporary workforce housing”” in brackets as follows:

[“”(b) Temporary workforce housing means any enclosures of living spaces, reasonably contiguous, together with the land appertaining thereto, established, operated or used as living quarters and, at a minimum, fifty-one percent (51%) of the residents are temporary workers, including, but not limited to, facilities known by varying nomenclatures or designations as dormitories, hotels, motels, travel lodges, or tourist homes.””].

As subsection (c)(1) already refers to the definition as found in 10 Guam Code Ann. § 26A101(b), the bracketed portion is redundant and has not been codified.
