PARADE Act

HR 2919, the PARADE Act, prohibits using federal funds from the Department of Defense, White House, or Executive Office of the President to sponsor parades specifically commemorating or paying tribute to the current President. The bill directly affects federal agencies by blocking budget allocations for such events. Its key provision bans the use of appropriated money for "covered parades" as defined in the bill. This is a procedural restriction on federal spending, not a change to substantive policy. The summary focuses solely on the funding prohibition described in the bill text.
