A BILL To prohibit the use of funds for certain parades.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the PARADE Act (Preventing Allocation of Resources for Absurd Defense Expenditures Act), prohibits the use of funds from the Department of Defense, White House, or Executive Office of the President for specific types of parades. Specifically, the bill prevents these government entities from spending money on a "covered parade," which is defined as a parade that is sponsored by the Department of Defense, White House, or Executive Office of the President, and is specifically designed to commemorate or pay tribute to the current President. The bill aims to restrict what it considers potentially unnecessary or self-promotional uses of government funds for parades that primarily serve to highlight the sitting President, effectively limiting the use of taxpayer money for such events.
