Bill overview
This bill modifies the definition of ‘State’ within the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to specifically include the Northern Mariana Islands. Currently, the law’s definitions included the Northern Mariana Islands through the Commonwealth designation. This change ensures that federal criminal justice resources and programs are appropriately directed to the Northern Mariana Islands as a distinct jurisdiction. The bill aims to clarify and streamline federal support for the islands’ criminal justice system.
