submitted 68 years ago by Pub. L. 85-767 to r/title-23-HIGHWAYS · 117 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets certain federal highway funds pay the full engineering costs - surveys, plans, specs, and construction oversight - for urgent highway projects that matter to national defense. The Secretary of Defense, or someone the President names, must request the project. With a state's consent, other highway funds can also be used as needed for this purpose.

Money set aside under section 104(a) of this title can cover the entire cost of engineering work - surveys, plans, specifications, cost estimates, and construction supervision - for highway projects that are urgently needed for national defense. The Secretary of Transportation must order the project, and it must come at the request of the Secretary of Defense or another official the President designates. Separately, if a state agrees, money set aside under section 104(b) can also be used, as much as the Secretary decides is necessary, to carry out this section.
