Kennedy Center Protection Act

This bill would cancel the December 18, 2025 vote by the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees that renamed the Center "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." It would require the Trustees to remove, within 1 day of the law taking effect, any signs or other identification that use a name other than "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." Federal records that were changed after the vote would return to the original name. The bill would also bar the Board from voting on or acting to rename the Center. The Trustees would have to report to Congress within 30 days on any public or private money used to carry out the name change.
