HR 1774 United States House · 119th Congress

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.

HR 1774 requires the Mayor of the District of Columbia to rename "Black Lives Matter Plaza" (on 16th Street NW between H and K Streets) to "Liberty Plaza" and remove the phrase "Black Lives Matter" from all District government websites, documents, and materials within 60 days of the bill's enactment. If the District fails to comply, the bill mandates withholding 50% of certain federal highway funds apportioned to the District each fiscal year. The bill directly affects the District of Columbia government's official materials and street designations, not private entities or the general public. It imposes a specific, time-bound requirement tied to federal funding, with no exemptions or alternative compliance mechanisms outlined.
