BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF GUAM: Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Liheslaturan Gudhan finds that $2103 of Chapter 2 of Title 5, Guam Code Annotated provides for a separate budget for the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. This law, enacted in Fiscal Year 1977, states in part that ...."this is to ensure the effective discharge of the responsibilities and duties of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor as an office separate from that of the Governor pursuant to Section 6 of the Organic Act of Guam." It is the intent of I Liheslaturan Guhhan to provide I Segundo Nu Maga 'lahen Gudhan appointment and removal powers pursuant to statute and the Organic Act of Guam. Section 2. A new 52103.1 is hereby added to Chapter 2 of Title 5 of the Guam Code Annotated to read as follows: "521 03.1. Lieutenant Governor's Appointment Powers. The Lieutenant Governor of Guam shall have exclusive authority to appoint and remove officers and employees withn the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the Guam State Clearinghouse, and all other offices that may be established and placed under the purview or direction of the Lieutenant Governor of Guam." Section 3. 56207 of Article 2, Chapter 6 of Title 4 of the Guam Code Annotated is hereby amended to read as follows: "56207. Positions in the Governor's Office. The Governor is authorized to establish such positions as may be necessary for the operation of the Office of the Governor including off-island offices and Government House; provided, however, that no person shall be appointed to fill such a position in the absence of an appropriation to 1 pay the salary set for such position. The Governor shall set the salaries 2 for positions for which salaries are not set by law." 3 Section 4. A new 56207.1 is hereby added to Article 2, Chapter 6 of Title 4 4 of the Guam Code Annotated to read as follows: 5 "56207.1. Positions in the Lieutenant Governor's Office. 6 The Lieutenant Governor is authorized to establish such positions as 7 may be necessary for the operation of the Office of the Lieutenant 8 Governor, the Guam State Clearinghouse, and other offices that are 9 established and placed under the purview or direction of the 10 Lieutenant Governor of Guam; provided, however, that no person 11 shall be appointed to fill such a position in the absence of an 12 appropriation to pay the salary set for that position.
