No New Fencing At the White House Act

Key Points

• This bill prevents the use of any money to build new permanent fences around the White House grounds. It bans spending from federal, state, private, or foreign sources for this purpose.
• The rule applies to the entire White House complex in Washington, D.C. This area is bordered by H Street, 15th Street, Constitution Avenue, and 17th Street.
• Workers are still allowed to repair or replace the fences that are already in place. The law only stops the government from adding new permanent barriers that do not exist today.
• This plan aims to keep the White House accessible and visible to the public. It addresses concerns that increased security measures might permanently change the look and feel of the historic site.
