Minimum 0.5% Highway Share for States

If enacted, each State would be guaranteed at least 0.5% of the total federal highway apportionment each year. States whose calculated share would have been below 0.5% would receive more money. Other States could receive slightly smaller shares because the same total pool would be reallocated to meet the floor. The bill text does not specify an effective date.
