Bill Summary

To amend title 23, United States Code, to authorize States to implement an exchange program for certain Federal funds for subrecipients of highway funding, and for other purposes. This bill authorizes states to implement a program under which subrecipients of federal-aid highway funding have the option to exchange allocated federal funds for state or local funds if prevailing wage and Buy America requirements are met.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes states to implement a program where subrecipients of federal-aid highway funding can exchange their allocated federal funds for state or local funds, as long as the state certifies that it has prevailing wage and domestic content (Buy America) requirements that are comparable to the federal requirements under Sections 113 and 313 of Title 23 of the United States Code. This means that projects carried out using the exchanged state or local funds would still be subject to the same labor and material requirements as if they had used the original federal funds.
