Title: To amend the definition of State in title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, and for other purposes.
Policy area: Crime and Law Enforcement

Summary:
This bill increases the amount of state formula grant funds allocated to American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program.
Currently, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands are considered to be one state, and they split one JAG allocation with 67% going to American Samoa and 33% going to the Northern Mariana Islands.
This bill considers American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands to be separate states, which entitles each of them to a full JAG allocation.
