Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 40, United States Code, to permit commercial filmmaking and photography on the United States Capitol grounds, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Title 40 of the United States Code to allow commercial filmmaking and photography on the United States Capitol grounds, provided that such activities are authorized by the Chief of the United States Capitol Police. The Chief can issue permits for these activities, but only when neither House of Congress is in session, and may require permit holders to pay fees to cover costs incurred by the Architect of the Capitol. These fees must be similar to those previously charged for commercial activities in Union Square, a specific area now under the Architect's control, and will be transferred to the Capitol Trust Account. The regulations for these permits will be established by the Capitol Police Board in consultation with relevant House and Senate committees.
