AI Summary
This bill, the Leadership in Global Tech Standards Act of 2021, establishes a program at the Small Business Administration (SBA) to support the participation of small businesses (defined as "covered entities") in meetings and proceedings of international standards organizations. The program will award competitive grants to cover the reasonable costs of employees from these small businesses to attend meetings, contribute expertise and research, propose new work items, and volunteer for leadership roles in the standards development process. The grants do not require any matching contribution from the small businesses. The bill also requires coordination with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to assess technical expertise and standards setting needs in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
