Clear the ROADS Act of 2024
HR 8823, the Clear the ROADS Act of 2024, requires states to take steps to prevent reckless highway obstructions that endanger public safety. It directly affects states receiving federal highway funds by threatening a 10% reduction in those funds if they fail to certify they've made "reasonable efforts" to prohibit non-government individuals from recklessly blocking traffic on federal-aid highways. The bill mandates that the Transportation Secretary issue implementing regulations within 180 days and begins withholding funds starting October 1, 2025, or after a state's next legislative session. This policy change links federal funding to state enforcement against specific types of roadway blockages, without specifying penalties or enforcement methods for individuals.
