There is created, separate and apart from other funds of the
government of Guam, and under the administration and control of
the Department of Administration, the ‘Utility Expense
Fund.’ Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, for each
fiscal year, all appropriations from the General Fund to any Guam
agency for the purpose of paying utility expenses for electrical
power, water, sewer and telephone services, shall be deposited in
the Utility Expense Fund, and shall be paid out separately by
utility category and by the aggregate expenses of agency billings.
A report of the status of the Utility Expense Fund shall be made
to the Governor and to the Guam Legislature at the end of each
quarter. Unexpended funds after the end of each fiscal year shall
revert to the General Fund. A report of this transaction shall be
made to the Guam Legislature.
2018 NOTE: References to “Territory” and “territorial” removed and/or
altered to “Guam” pursuant to 1 GCA § 420.
NOTE: Public Law 24-57:2 creates a new Section 22427 to Title 5, Guam
Code Annotated called the “Utility Expense Fund”. But according to the
Compiler another Public Law, specifically P.L. 23-137:2 also added
COL4/6/2022
another § 22427 called the “Government of Guam Loan”. The Compiler
has then recodified Section 22427 (created by P.L. 24-57) as Section
22428. Renumbered by Compiler to reflect correct citation.
