Ban on New Permanent Fencing at the U.S. Capitol Complex.

This bill aims to preserve the open nature of the Capitol Complex by prohibiting the use of federal funds for installing new, permanent fences around the Capitol Buildings and Grounds. This ensures that citizens maintain their current level of visual and physical access to the seat of American democracy. Existing security barriers may still be repaired or replaced, but no new permanent structures can be added.
Key points
Federal funds cannot be used to install any new, permanent fencing around the Capitol Buildings or the Capitol Grounds.
Existing fences and security barriers may still be repaired or replaced, allowing current protection levels to be maintained without adding new permanent barriers.
