AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Kennedy Center Protection Act," mandates the immediate removal of any signage or identification at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that deviates from its official designation as the "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts," as established by the John F. Kennedy Center Act. It declares void a recent vote by the Center's Board of Trustees to rename it "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts," asserting that only Congress has the authority to rename the Center. The bill also restricts the Board's future ability to vote on or authorize any renaming of the Center and requires a report detailing any funds used for the attempted name change.
