HR 8349 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend section 133 of title 23, United States Code, to remove a certain State funding set-aside for transportation alternative programs, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill amends federal highway funding law to remove a requirement that states set aside a portion of their Surface Transportation Block Grant Program funds for transportation alternative programs. Transportation alternative programs currently cover projects like pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, and transit-oriented development. By eliminating this set-aside, states would gain greater flexibility in how they allocate their federal highway funding. The bill also makes conforming changes to related sections of law to remove references to the eliminated set-aside requirements. The overall effect is to consolidate highway funding authority and reduce earmarked requirements for specific transportation uses.
