This bill modifies the formula that determines how the federal government distributes highway funding to states. Specifically, it guarantees that every state will receive at least 0.5 percent of the total available highway apportionment, amending the existing distribution rules under federal highway law. The legislation affects all 50 states and the District of Columbia by establishing a minimum funding floor in the highway grant allocation process. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure but contains no specific dollar amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided. This change would ensure that smaller states receive a baseline level of highway funding regardless of population or other apportionment factors.
