S 3056 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act

This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to install new permanent fencing around the U.S. Capitol Buildings or Capitol Grounds. It specifically blocks funding for new fencing on the perimeter of these areas as defined in federal law, directly affecting federal agencies managing Capitol security. The bill allows repair or replacement of existing fencing but does not prevent the use of funds for temporary barriers or other security measures. It is a procedural measure focused on funding restrictions, not policy changes for the public.
