HR 9685 United States House · 119th Congress

No New Fencing At the White House Act

This bill, titled the No New Fencing At the White House Act, prohibits the use of any federal, state, foreign, or private funds to install new permanent fencing around the White House complex. The legislation defines the White House complex as the specific federal land in Washington, D.C., bounded by H Street, 15th Street, Constitution Avenue, and 17th Street Northwest. While it bans new construction, the law explicitly allows for the repair or replacement of any existing fencing that was already in place when the bill was enacted.
