Summary

Expands who is included under the Wagner-Peyser Act so that the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa are treated alongside Guam for Employment Service funding and references. It updates definitions and references to include these territories. Creates a new formula so that when total Employment Service allotments grow, the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa receive a set share of those increases. This does not appropriate new money; it changes how future increases are divided among jurisdictions.

Key Points

• Adds the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa to provisions that previously named only Guam.
• Updates definitions and references in the Wagner-Peyser Act to include these territories.
• Creates a new allotment share for CNMI and American Samoa linked to increases in total Employment Service funding.
• Applies when overall allotments grow; it reallocates part of the increase rather than adding new funds.
