Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would ban the use of any federal, state, foreign, or private funds to build new permanent fencing around the White House complex in Washington, DC. The prohibition applies after the bill becomes law and covers a defined area bounded by H Street on the north, 15th Street on the east, Constitution Avenue on the south, and 17th Street on the west. The legislation does allow for the repair or replacement of fencing that already exists around the White House as of the bill's enactment date. The bill affects anyone or any entity—whether governmental bodies or private parties—that might seek to fund additional permanent perimeter fencing at the White House. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the legislation beyond the effective date of enactment.
