What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This 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.
