About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · October 17, 2023
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
The No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act would prohibit the federal government from spending money to build new permanent fencing around the Capitol building, other Capitol buildings, or the Capitol Grounds. The bill would apply to any future fencing projects funded with federal dollars. However, the legislation would still allow for repairs and replacements of fencing that already exists at the time the law takes effect, so maintenance of current barriers would continue. The bill does not specify any funding amounts or implementation timelines. This legislation would affect Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capitol, and any other federal agencies responsible for Capitol security and maintenance.
