Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The PARADE Act prohibits the federal government from spending Department of Defense or White House funds on parades that specifically commemorate or pay tribute to the sitting president. The bill targets parades sponsored directly by the Defense Department or the Executive Office of the President that are designed to honor the current occupant of the presidency. The legislation applies to all federal appropriations allocated to these agencies and would prevent the use of taxpayer money for what sponsors consider unnecessary pageantry. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are detailed in the bill text, as the legislation primarily establishes a spending restriction rather than creating new programs or allocations.
