To amend title 23, United States Code, to withhold certain apportionment funds from the District of Columbia unless the Mayor of the District of Columbia removes the phrase Black Lives Matter from the street symbolically designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza, redesignates such street as Liberty Plaza, and removes such phrase from each website, document, and other material under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia.
What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would withhold half of the highway money that Washington D.C. normally receives from the federal government unless D.C. removes the phrase "Black Lives Matter" from a section of 16th Street NW and renames it "Liberty Plaza" instead. D.C. would also have to remove the phrase from its websites, documents, and other materials. The money would be withheld each year until D.C. makes these changes.
