This bill would allow commercial filmmaking and photography on the Capitol grounds when Congress is not in session. The Capitol Police Chief would be authorized to issue permits for these activities and collect fees from filmmakers and photographers to cover administrative costs. The fees collected would be deposited into an existing Capitol Trust Account. The bill bases the types of permitted activities and fee amounts on what was previously allowed in Union Square before that area came under Capitol control. The Capitol Police Board would develop detailed regulations for the permit program in consultation with relevant House and Senate committees.
