Kennedy Center Protection Act
HR 6925, the Kennedy Center Protection Act, voids a December 2025 vote by the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees that renamed the facility "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts." The bill mandates the immediate removal of all changed signage and restores the original name "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" in all official references, documents, and records. It also permanently prohibits the Board from voting to rename the Center, amending existing law to restrict their authority in this regard. The bill requires the Board to report on any public or private funds used for the previous renaming effort within 30 days of enactment.
