AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the use of federal money to install new permanent fencing around the perimeter of any of the Capitol Buildings or around the perimeter of the U.S. Capitol Grounds, or any part of the Grounds. The bill would still allow federal funds to be used to repair or replace fencing that already exists in those areas on the date the bill becomes law.
