This publication does not include § 70.44.1, Selling Tobacco to Minors, added by P.L. 21-025:2 (May 17, 1991), as this provision had previously been repealed by P.L. 24-278:4 (Oct. 16, 1998). Comments and other annotations for each provision were retained as part of the “recodification” process. In light of the reorganization of this Chapter, the following Comment from past publications of the GCA, is no longer applicable:
COMMENT: Most, if not all, of the offenses set forth in this Chapter could be dealt with in one of the previous Chapters, but not without greater distortion of those Chapters than is thought desirable. All of the crimes covered by this Chapter are found in the Penal Code. However, these Sections have been modernized in line with the intent of this Code.
2014 NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, the Comments are the original annotations from the Criminal and Correctional Code (1977), enacted by P.L. 32-185 (Sept. 2, 1976). These annotations were included when the Criminal and Correctional Code (1977) was “recodified” as Title 9 of the Guam Code Annotated pursuant to P.L. 15-104:8 (Mar. 5, 1980). These original annotations were retained in past print publications of the GCA, and are included herein for historical purposes. The Source notes, however, have been updated to reflect subsequent changes to each provision.
