PROTECT Act
Ban on Naming Federal Property After Trump
The PROTECT Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by three different committees in the House of Representatives. No further actions or votes have been scheduled yet. The bill is considered active as it waits for these committees to finish their initial review.
Legislative Progress
This bill is a partisan effort that lacks the broad support needed to pass through a divided Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would stop the government from naming any federal building, land, or other property after Trump. This includes things like office buildings, national parks, and monuments.
- The plan also bans the use of any taxpayer money to create signs, plaques, or tributes that use Trump's name on federal property. No federal funds could be spent on these types of honors.
- If any federal property is already named after Trump when this bill becomes law, it must be changed back to its original name. This would undo any previous naming decisions made by the government.
