Interagency Committee on Women’s Business Enterprise Act of 2023

This bill amends the Women's Business Ownership Act to establish a specific mandate for the Interagency Committee on Women's Business Enterprise. It requires the committee to actively monitor federal agency programs and operations to identify barriers women entrepreneurs face when starting new businesses or accessing federal opportunities. The committee must now systematically track these barriers, including through published research, and report findings to the Council. This directly affects women business owners seeking federal contracts or assistance, and federal agencies managing programs that serve small businesses. The changes update committee membership and structure but center on creating a formal process to address systemic obstacles.
