Month, Week and Day Defined

(a) “Month” means a calendar month unless otherwise expressed. (b) A “week” consists of seven consecutive days. (c) A “day” is the period of time between any midnight and the midnight following. (d) “Midnight” of any given day is 12:00 post meridian (p.m.), the end of the day. SOURCE: GC §§ 209, 210, 211 and 1100.1. 2025 NOTE: Subsection designations added pursuant to authority granted by 1 GCA § 1606. COMPILER’S COMMENT: Sections 209-211 were a part of the original Government Code. In 1959 the Legislature saw fit to add the definition of “midnight” of a given day in reference to the Governor’s action on legislation. There is no good reason why such a definition should not be made uniform throughout the whole Code, and is therefore placed in this Chapter. Thus, midnight on Monday would occur at that moment ending Monday and commencing Tuesday.
