Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the display of names at the White House without approval, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "White House NOT FOR SALE Act," establishes strict guidelines for displaying names within the White House and on its grounds. Specifically, any permanent or semi-permanent inscription, engraving, advertisement, or display featuring the name of an individual, corporation, or other entity can only be exhibited with explicit approval from three key parties: the Speaker of the House, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the White House Curator, who must also consult with the Committee for the Preservation of the White House. The bill provides an exception for displays that meet the criteria of a "commemorative work" as defined in the Commemorative Works Act, which would be subject to that act's existing regulations. By implementing these restrictions, the legislation aims to maintain the dignity and historical integrity of the White House by carefully controlling what names and entities can be represented within its spaces, preventing potential commercialization or inappropriate branding of this important national symbol.
