Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning on October 1, 2021— a highway construction or improvement project shall not be considered to be a Federal highway construction or improvement project unless and until a State expends Federal funds for the construction portion of the project; a highway construction or improvement project shall not be considered to be a Federal highway construction or improvement project solely by reason of the expenditure of Federal funds by a State before the construction phase of the project to pay expenses relating to the project, including for any environmental document or design work required for the project; and a State may, after having used Federal funds to pay all or a portion of the costs of a highway construction or improvement project, reimburse the Federal Government in an amount equal to the amount of Federal funds so expended; and after completion of a reimbursement described in subparagraph (A), a highway construction or improvement project described in that subparagraph shall no longer be considered to be a Federal highway construction or improvement project.
