Earn it First Act

Summary#

This bill would forbid a sitting President, or any executive branch officer or employee acting on behalf of the President, from naming or designating a public facility after that President for the duration of the President’s term. The bill defines "public facility" to include: (1) any building administered by a Federal agency (including a public building as defined in 40 U.S.C. 3301), and (2) any building or facility operated by an entity that receives Federal funds.

What it means for you#

If enacted, the President and executive branch staff could not name federal buildings or buildings run by entities that receive federal funding after the current President while that President remains in office. The restriction applies only during the President’s term. The bill text does not address naming by other people or naming after the President leaves office.
