This legislation, known as the "White House NOT FOR SALE Act," seeks to prevent unauthorized displays of names within the White House and its grounds. It specifically prohibits the permanent or semi-permanent exhibition of names belonging to individuals, corporations, or other entities, including advertisements or engravings, without explicit authorization. To approve such displays, the bill requires the express consent of the Speaker of the House , the Minority Leader of the House , and the Curator of the White House , following consultation with the Committee for the Preservation of the White House. This measure aims to maintain the integrity of the White House property by controlling official recognition and endorsements. Any display that meets the criteria for a "commemorative work" would instead be governed by the existing Commemorative Works Act.
