No Fencing at the United States Supreme Court Act
This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to install permanent fencing around the perimeter of the United States Supreme Court Building and its grounds. It allows for the repair or replacement of existing fences but prevents new permanent barriers from being constructed in the future. The legislation directly affects federal budgeting processes related to the Supreme Court's security infrastructure. By restricting funding, the bill aims to maintain the current appearance of the Supreme Court complex without adding new permanent fences.
