No New Fencing At the White House Act
Sponsored By: Senator Van Hollen, Chris [D-MD]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would prohibit the use of any federal, state, foreign, or private funds to install permanent fencing, creating a clear ban on new permanent fencing around the White House complex. It would allow repair or replacement of fencing that already existed on the date of enactment. The text defines "State" to include the District of Columbia and U.S. territories and it sets the White House complex boundaries in northwest Washington, DC, so the ban applies to that specific area only.
