AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the use of federal, state, foreign, or private money to install permanent fencing around Lafayette Square, a federal park in Washington, DC. The bill defines the park by the streets that border it: H Street, Madison Place, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Jackson Place Northwest. It would still allow fencing that already exists around the square when the law takes effect to be repaired or replaced. For this bill, "State" includes any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, territories, and their local governments.
