CHAPTER 8
Chuuk State Commission
on Improvement Projects
[REPEALED]
Editor’s note: PL 17-75 repealed section 801 of this chapter. The provisions of PL 17-75 state as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. To eliminate the Chuuk State Commission on Improvement Projects (“CSCIP”).
Section 2. Ninety (90) days after the act becomes law, section 801 of title 55 of the Code of the Federated States of Micronesia, as amended, is repealed in its entirety.
Section 3. Upon the elimination of the CSCIP, all assets of CSCIP shall revert to the FSM National Government.
PL 17-75 was signed into law by President Manny Mori on February 12, 2013.
While the repeal in PL 17-75 was specifically to section 801, the stated purpose of this Act in section 1 was to eliminate the CSCIP. The other sections of this chapter are therefore repealed by implication.
