To provide for the transfer of 10 percent of a State's apportionment of 
 certain highway funds to the State's highway safety apportionment if 
 the State does not suspend the driver's license of individuals under 
    the age of 21 convicted of driving while under the influence of 
                                alcohol.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. TRANSFER OF APPORTIONMENT.

    On October 1, 2002, and each October 1 thereafter, if a State has 
not enacted or is not enforcing a law that requires in all 
circumstances the revocation or suspension of the driver's license of 
any individual who is less than 21 years of age and who is convicted, 
after the date of enactment of this Act, of driving while under the 
influence of alcohol, the Secretary shall transfer an amount equal to 
10 percent of the amount apportioned to any State on that date under 
each of paragraphs (1), (3), and (4) of section 104(b) of title 23, 
United States Code, to the apportionment of the State under section 402 
of such title to be used for alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures, 
especially for individuals who are less than 21 years of age. Such 
suspension or revocation shall be until the individual's 21st birthday.

SEC. 2. DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK.

    The apportionment of a State shall not be transferred under section 
1 if the State allows an individual convicted while driving under the 
influence of alcohol to drive, during the period of revocation or 
suspension of the individual's driver's license in accordance with 
section 1, only for the purposes of going to and from such individual's 
place of employment or to and from a college or other institution of 
higher education or a trade school.
