Prior publications of the GCA included the following comment from the previous Compiler of Laws:
COMMENT: As has been done with other portions of this Title, the Commission recommends that sections of
the former Government Code dealing with parts of the same subject matter be consolidated into one section. This
way, there is less likelihood of confusion when reading the various sections. The Marianas Fishing Derby was
created by P.L. 13-203:1 (Dec. 13, 1976) and the Marianas Fishing Derby Fund was added by P.L. 14-058 (Aug.
29, 1977).
