Grijalva, Congressional Delegation Representing U.S. Territories Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Place Insular Areas Advisors in Federal Agencies

Statement

Date: July 31, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Executive Branch Federal, State and Local Relations

"The unique circumstances of the Marianas and other Insular Areas are too easily overlooked when federal agencies set national policies. The Special Advisors for Insular Areas Act addresses that problem. Creating positions within each agency specifically responsible for the Insular Areas should lead to more community input in policy formulation and better coordination and communication as policies and programs are implemented."
