Summary

This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Nick Shirley for investigative journalism about fraud involving federal funds in Minnesota. The Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate would arrange to present the medal on behalf of Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury would design and strike the gold medal and could sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost. The medal costs would be paid from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and money from bronze copy sales would go back into that fund.
