No Fencing at the United States Supreme Court Act

This legislative proposal, titled the "No Fencing at the United States Supreme Court Act," seeks to prevent the installation of new permanent barriers around the nation's highest court. Its primary objective is to ensure that Federal funds are not allocated for the construction of permanent fencing around either the perimeter of the Supreme Court Building or its surrounding grounds. The bill explicitly prohibits the use of federal money for such installations, covering any portion of the Supreme Court grounds as defined by law. However, it includes a crucial rule of construction, clarifying that this prohibition does not apply to the repair or replacement of any fencing that was already present on the date the Act is enacted.
