S 5396: No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act

The No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act prohibits federal agencies from using government funds to install new permanent fencing around the perimeter of the U.S. Capitol Buildings or the Capitol Grounds. This legislation directly affects the management and security planning for the Capitol complex by restricting specific types of physical barrier construction. However, the bill explicitly allows for the repair or replacement of any fencing that was already in place on the date the law is enacted.
