What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Clear the ROADS Act," aims to amend title 23 of the United States Code. It directs the Secretary of Transportation to withhold certain funds from States if they do not meet specific requirements. States must make reasonable efforts to prohibit individuals who are not government workers from knowingly and recklessly obstructing vehicle transportation on Federal-aid highways in a way that endangers public safety. The withholding involves 10 percent of specific apportionments. The Secretary of Transportation is also required to issue necessary regulations within 180 days of enactment.
