No New Fencing At the White House Act
To prohibit the use of Federal, State, foreign, or private funds to install permanent fencing around the White House complex.
HB9685 aims to stop any use of federal, state, foreign, or private money to put up permanent fencing around the White House complex. This means that no one would be allowed to spend such funds on erecting long-lasting barriers around this area.
The bill would affect anyone involved in funding or planning the installation of permanent fencing at the White House, including federal agencies, state governments, foreign entities, and private donors. It would essentially prevent the construction of permanent fencing around the complex.
As of the last update on July 14, 2026, HB9685 was introduced in the House and has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for further consideration. This is the bill's current status in the legislative process.
