Northern Mariana Islands Entrepreneurship Act of 2023

This bill amends the Small Business Act to include the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in the definition of "State" for the federal microloan program. It directly affects CNMI residents and small businesses by allowing them to access the same federal microloan program previously available to states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. territories like Puerto Rico. The key mechanism is a technical update to the law's definition, removing a barrier that prevented CNMI from participating in the existing microloan program. This change does not create new funding but expands eligibility for an existing program.
