§ 12.0511. Sale of government housing.
Sale of surplus housing shall be at auction to the highest eligible bidder. Eligibility to bid shall be limited to U.S. nationals or citizens who are allowed under law to own real property in American Samoa. Sales shall be for cash, under rules as shall be provided by regulation approved by the Governor, and proceeds of sales shall be paid into the general fund. Revisor’s Comment: The law dealing with alienation of kind contained in the A.S.C.A., as recodifled by the Legislative Reference Bureau had been questioned as to whether the requirements of Art. I, § 3 and Art. II, § 9, American Samoa Constitution, had been fulfilled. Since the records were not available to answer the question, the Legislature passed PL 16-88 and PL 17-31 to ensure that the law dealing with alienation of land complies with the Constitution.
