This bill reauthorizes the Interagency Committee on Women's Business Enterprise, a federal coordination body established under the Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988. The legislation expands the committee's responsibilities to include identifying barriers that prevent women entrepreneurs from starting new businesses and accessing federal government programs and services. The bill also adds several federal agencies to the committee, including NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, while clarifying the Small Business Administration's role as chair and the council's reporting structure. The bill updates references to reflect this 2023 reauthorization and removes outdated provisions from earlier versions. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the legislation.
