Key Points

  • Would cancel the Kennedy Center board’s reported vote to add Trump’s name to the building’s name.
  • Would require the Kennedy Center to remove any signs or labels that don’t match the official name within 1 day after the bill becomes law.
  • Would tell federal records (laws, maps, documents, publications, signs) to switch back to the original Kennedy Center name if they were changed.
  • Would ban the Kennedy Center board from voting or acting to rename the center in the future.
  • Would require a report to Congress within 30 days listing any public or private money spent on the name change.
