Let Freedom Sing Act
Summary
The Let Freedom Sing Act (H.R. 4003) is a bill that would prohibit federal agencies from restricting the singing of the National Anthem on federal property, provided the activity does not interfere with official government business. It specifically aims to ensure that singing the anthem in public spaces like the U.S. Capitol and National Statuary Hall is recognized as a protected form of free speech rather than a disruptive protest.
For citizens, this legislation would guarantee the right to perform the National Anthem in federally owned public spaces without needing special permits or facing intervention from law enforcement. The bill was introduced following an incident where a children's choir was stopped from singing the anthem at the U.S. Capitol, and it seeks to prevent similar restrictions in the future.
