Law to Protect the Name of the John F. Kennedy Center.

This law immediately voids the recent attempt by the Kennedy Center Board to rename the institution by adding the sitting President's name. It ensures that the official name remains the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as originally designated by Congress. Furthermore, the law permanently bans the Board of Trustees from ever attempting to change the Center's name in the future, protecting its historical designation.
Key points
The recent Board vote to rename the Kennedy Center is legally cancelled and declared void.
All physical signs and references must be changed back to the original name within one day of the law taking effect.
The Board of Trustees is permanently stripped of the power to propose or vote on renaming the Kennedy Center.
A report detailing any public or private funds used for the attempted name change must be submitted to Congress.
