Bill overview
This bill changes how the federal government treats the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa for the purpose of criminal justice grant funding. Currently, these islands receive a portion of a single grant allocation. By amending the law, the bill recognizes them as separate jurisdictions, allowing each to receive a full allocation of grant funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. This aims to provide increased resources for criminal justice initiatives in these island communities.
