To direct the Secretary of Transportation to not require that the State 
of New Jersey repay Federal-aid highway funds expended on certain high 
                        occupancy vehicle lanes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

Transportation shall not require the State of New Jersey to repay any 
Federal-aid highway funds expended on construction of any high 
occupancy vehicle lane or auxiliary lane on Interstate Route I-80 or I-
287 within the boundaries of the State if, before the State removes a 
high occupancy vehicle restriction on such lane, the State assures the 
Secretary, in writing, that removal of such restriction is in the 
public interest.
