Interagency Committee on Women’s Business Enterprise Act of 2023

HR 6058, the Interagency Committee on Women’s Business Enterprise Act of 2023, amends an existing committee under the Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988 to better support women entrepreneurs. The bill requires the committee to actively monitor federal agency programs for barriers women business owners face in starting or growing their businesses and accessing federal contracts or assistance. It expands the committee’s membership to include agencies like NASA, the EPA, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and updates appointment procedures for the committee chair. These changes aim to improve coordination across federal agencies to address systemic challenges for women-led businesses.
