Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the definition of State in title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by modifying the definition of "state" to specifically include the Northern Mariana Islands. The legislation updates the legal language to ensure that the Northern Mariana Islands are explicitly recognized as a state for the purposes of this act, which likely relates to criminal justice support and funding. By making this technical change, the bill aims to clarify and expand the jurisdictional scope of the original act to include this U.S. territory. The bill is relatively straightforward, making a simple but important definitional adjustment that will help ensure the Northern Mariana Islands can access the same criminal justice resources and support as other states.
