SOURCE: Former Govt. Code § 107 unchanged. 2025 NOTE: Subsection designations added pursuant to the authority of 1 GCA § 1606. In past publications, references to “Territory”/“territorial” had been omitted pursuant to 1 GCA § 420. 2025 COMMENT: The following legislative history for § 408 was included in past publications of the GCA as part of the Source annotation for § 406: [A] paragraph has been added to § 408 to clear up questions that have arisen when the flags of foreign consulates are flown in close proximity to, but not in the same grouping as, the U.S. or Guam flags. Also, provision for flying the territorial flag at night has been added. A suggestion was made to prohibit the flying of the flag in inclement weather. Due to the rapidly changing weather, defining “inclement” would pose considerable difficulty, and so this suggestion was not adopted.
