H.R. 6925, the Kennedy Center Protection Act, would nullify the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees' December 2025 vote to rename the institution "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" and restore its official name to simply "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." The bill requires the removal of all signage and identification reflecting the renamed version within one day of enactment and mandates that all federal references to the center revert to its statutory name. The legislation also amends the John F. Kennedy Center Act to explicitly prohibit the Board of Trustees from voting on or proposing any future renaming of the facility, asserting that Congress alone retains authority to rename federal buildings. Additionally, the Kennedy Center's trustees must submit a report to Congress within 30 days detailing any public or private funds used to implement the name change.
