No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act
The No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act prohibits the use of federal funds to install new permanent fencing around the perimeter of the U.S. Capitol buildings and grounds. The bill allows for the repair or replacement of any existing fencing that was already in place when the law is enacted. This legislation directly affects agencies responsible for maintaining the Capitol complex by restricting their ability to add new physical barriers using government money.
