§ 30103. Common Law Powers of Attorney General.
The Attorney General shall have, in addition to the powers expressly conferred upon him by this
Chapter, those common law powers which include, but are not limited to, the right to bring suit to challenge
laws which he believes to be unconstitutional and to bring action on behalf of Guam representing the
citizens as a whole for redress of grievances which the citizens individually cannot achieve, unless expressly
limited by any law of Guam to the contrary. The Attorney General may permit attorneys admitted to private
practice in Guam or licensed collection agents to collect accounts or other obligations owing to the
government of Guam, or to any agency or instrumentality thereof, if such procedure would be in the interest
of the Government and expedite the collection of said account or obligation. Any agency or instrumentality
not operating under yearly appropriations from I Liheslatura may retain counsel of its choice for the
collection of obligations in the same manner as it may be permitted to retain counsel in other matters as
permitted by its enabling legislation. Guam Memorial Hospital may permit the Attorney General or
attorneys admitted to private practice in Guam and agents or licensed collection agents to collect accounts
or other obligations owing to Guam Memorial Hospital.
