HR 6761 — People’s White House Historic Preservation Act

Summary

This bill amends the National Historic Preservation Act to apply its requirements to the White House and its grounds by removing a previous exemption. The specific amendment modifies section 307104 of title 54, United States Code, to no longer exclude the White House from certain historic preservation requirements. This would subject the White House to the same National Historic Preservation Act requirements that apply to other historic properties.
