What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "No Fencing at the United States Supreme Court Act," aims to restrict how federal money is used. It specifically prohibits the use of Federal funds to install permanent fencing around the United States Supreme Court Building or its grounds. This restriction applies to the building's perimeter and the grounds described in section 6101(b) of title 40, United States Code. However, the act does not prevent the repair or replacement of fencing that already existed when the act was passed.
