Commission Comment: PL 8-18, § 14 repealed former subsection (i) of this section, which authorized the Personnel Officer to develop training pro- grams and a “systematic career ladder” for government employees. PL 8-18, § 14 specified reenactment of subsection (i) with language that the Commission opted to codify as 1 CMC § 8125. Accordingly, the Commission deleted former subsection (i) and redesignated the remaining subsections. See also the com- ment to 1 CMC §§ 8116 and 8121.
