This bill aims to prevent the installation of new permanent fencing around Lafayette Square in Washington, DC. It explicitly prohibits the use of Federal, State, foreign, or private funds for this purpose, ensuring a wide range of funding sources cannot be utilized for such construction. Lafayette Square is defined as the Federal park bounded by H Street Northwest, Madison Place Northwest, Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, and Jackson Place Northwest. However, the legislation includes a crucial rule of construction, clarifying that it does not prohibit the repair or replacement of fencing that was already in existence on the date of the Act's enactment, thereby allowing maintenance of existing structures.
