Asan renamed to Assan-Ma'ina

The law changes the village’s official name to Assan-Ma'ina. All Guam laws, rules, and codes now read "Assan-Ma'ina" wherever they said "Asan." Government agencies and courts now use the new name in records, forms, maps, and notices. The change takes effect immediately.

Assan-Ma'ina boundary set in law

The law sets the official boundary of Assan-Ma'ina in statute. The line starts at the Fonte River and follows rivers, Mt. Macajna, lot lines, and the coast. This defines which properties are in Assan-Ma'ina for local government purposes. Some addresses may see changes in which village services or rules apply. The boundary takes effect immediately.
