October 7 Gold Medal Act

This bill would award one Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the American hostages and victims of the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. The Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate would arrange the presentation, and the Secretary of the Treasury would design and strike the medal. After it is awarded, the medal would be displayed and made available for research at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. The Treasury could sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost, with medal costs paid from and sale proceeds deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
