Build the Ballroom Act
To authorize the construction of a ballroom on the grounds of the White House, and for other purposes.
HB8543, also known as the Build the Ballroom Act, proposes the construction of a new ballroom on the grounds of the White House. This bill aims to create a space for large social events and gatherings, potentially increasing the White House's capacity to host formal events and cultural activities.
If passed, the ballroom would primarily benefit the White House and its staff by providing a new venue for official events, enhancing the building's functionality. Additionally, it could impact contractors, construction workers, and local businesses involved in the project.
As of April 28, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. No further actions have been taken yet. This means the bill is still in its early stages and will need to go through committee review and potentially several more steps before it can be voted on by the full House and Senate.
