[To accompany S. 2042]
The Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, to
which was referred the bill (S. 2042) to reauthorize the Interagency

I. INTRODUCTION
A bill to reauthorize the Interagency Committee on Women's
Business Enterprise, (S. 2042) was introduced by Senators Tammie
Duckworth, Tim Scott, Ben Cardin, and Susan Collins on June 14,
2021.
This bill amends Title IV of the Women's Business Ownership
Act to reauthorize the Interagency Committee on Women Business
Enterprise (ICWBE), in order to better provide assistance and de-
crease barriers for women owned businesses.
During the markup of the bill, the Cardin substitute amendment
was approved by a voice vote as part of a manager's package. The
Cardin substitute amends the bill in various ways including chang-
ing the title from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, it clarifies that the
ICWBE may use published research and policy independently de-
veloped by the National Women's Business Council (Council). This
ensures the Council and ICWBE maintain a working relationship
