The Feds would mandate it. Just like they used Federal highway funding to set the nationwide speed limit at 55, bad idea since rescinded, and setting the nationwide BAC at 0.08 soon to be 0.05.

“Since we’re the Federal gov’t we can tell you what to do, but we do control your highway funding and it would be a shame if you lost it.”

Simple extortion.

"Simple extortion."

I'm sure states like Texas could raise a lot of Highway Funding by applying a special state tax rate on US Military Installations and other Federal facilities within it's territory.

Block access if non-payment occurs.

As far as the likely US government response - "see you in court"
