Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would add a new section to federal highway law. It would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to withhold 8 percent of certain federal highway funds from any state whose gasoline tax is 50 cents per gallon or more. The withheld funds come from two federal highway funding programs that are divided among the states each year. The rule would apply starting with the first day of each fiscal year after the first full fiscal year following the bill becoming law.
