No New Fencing At the White House Act

United States119th CongressHR-9685House of Representatives
Updated: Jul 14, 2026

Summary

This bill aims to prevent the construction of new permanent fencing around the White House complex by explicitly prohibiting the use of any Federal, State, foreign, or private funds for such installations. This measure ensures that no public or private money can be allocated to erect new barriers. However, the legislation includes a crucial rule of construction, clarifying that it does not restrict the repair or replacement of fencing that was already in existence on the date of the Act's enactment. The bill also precisely defines the boundaries of the "White House complex" as the Federal land in Washington, D.C., bordered by H Street Northwest, 15th Street Northwest, Constitution Avenue Northwest, and 17th Street Northwest.
