Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa Criminal Justice Support Act
This bill amends the definition of "State" in the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to explicitly include the Northern Mariana Islands, removing redundant language. It ensures the Northern Mariana Islands qualifies for federal criminal justice funding typically available to states. The bill directly affects the Northern Mariana Islands by enabling its access to these funds for local law enforcement and justice programs. The provided text does not detail provisions for American Samoa, though the bill title references both territories.
