Bill overview
This bill, the No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act, aims to prevent the use of federal money to build permanent fencing around the U.S. Capitol building and its grounds. It specifically targets the fencing erected after the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol, which was initially intended to be temporary but has remained in place. The bill seeks to restore the Capitol’s appearance and symbolism by removing the physical barrier. It prevents further investment in a permanent security measure.
