TITLE II—HIGHWAY FUNDING
RESTORATION
SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Highway Funding
Restoration Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds and declares that—
(1) Federal infrastructure spending on highways
is critical to the efficient movement of goods and peo-
ple in the United States;
(2) section 1003(c) of the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 has been esti-
mated to result in fiscal year 1996 highway spending
being reduced by as much as $4,200,000,000;
(3) such section 1003(c) will cause every State to
lose critical funds from the Highway Trust Fund that
can never be recouped; and
(4) the funding reduction would have disastrous
effects on the national economy, impede interstate
commerce, and jeopardize the 40-year Federal invest-
ment in the Nation’s highway system.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to make the program categories in the cur-
rent Federal-aid highway program more flexible so
that States may fund current, high-priority projects
in fiscal year 1996;
(2) to eliminate programs that are not critical
during fiscal year 1996 and to reallocate funds so
that the States will be able to continue their core
transportation infrastructure programs;
(3) to restore funding for exempt highway pro-
grams;
(4) to ensure the equitable distribution of funds
to urbanized areas with a population over 200,000 in
a manner consistent with the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991; and
(5) to suspend certain penalties that would be
imposed on the States in fiscal year 1996.
SEC. 203. STATE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECT RESTORATION
PROGRAM.
(a) IN GENERAL.—On October 1 of each of fiscal years
1996 and 1997, or as soon as possible thereafter, the Sec-
retary shall allocate among the States the amounts made
available to carry out this section for Interstate highway
substitute, National Highway System, surface transpor-
tation program, Interstate, congestion mitigation and air
quality improvement program, bridge, hazard elimination,
and rail-highway crossings projects.
(b) ALLOCATION FORMULA.—Funds made available to
carry out this section shall be allocated among the States
