The House of Representatives has adopted the Ways and Means Committee’s report that recommends transmitting to the Saipan and Northern Islands Legislative Delegation a local bill that would re-appropriate $503,900 for the reconstruction and repair of Obyan Road.

House Local Bill 23-25 aims to re-appropriate $204,500 allotted under Saipan Local Law 20-26; $190,000 allotted under Saipan Local Law 20-26; and $109,400 allotted under Saipan Local Law 21-07.

A Ways and Means Committee report states that Finance Secretary Tracy N. Norita has certified that that those funds are available for appropriation.
