This bill would prohibit the use of any federal, state, foreign, or private funds to install new permanent fencing around the White House complex in Washington, D.C. The legislation specifically defines the White House complex as the federal land bounded by H Street Northwest on the north, 15th Street Northwest on the east, Constitution Avenue Northwest on the south, and 17th Street Northwest on the west. However, the bill carves out an exception allowing for repair and replacement of fencing that already existed at the time the law would take effect, meaning existing security barriers could be maintained. The bill does not provide specific funding amounts because it is primarily a restriction on how money can be spent rather than an appropriation of funds. No timeline is specified for implementation, as the prohibition would take effect upon enactment.
