To amend title 23, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of Transportation to withhold from States certain apportionments if the States do not make reasonable efforts to prohibit certain roadway obstruction, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to withhold 10 percent of federal highway funding from states that do not take reasonable efforts to prevent roadway obstructions on federal highways. Roadway obstructions are defined as knowingly and recklessly blocking lawful vehicle transportation by individuals not performing official government work in a manner that endangers public safety or health. The withholding would begin October 1 following the issuance of federal regulations defining compliance requirements, with regulations to be issued within 180 days of enactment. States that are certified as meeting the requirement would not have funds withheld. The Secretary of Transportation would be responsible for determining whether each state has made reasonable efforts to prohibit such obstructions.
