Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Nick Shirley for investigative journalism that the bill says uncovered waste, fraud, and abuse against American taxpayers in Minnesota. 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. The Treasury could make and sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost. The costs would be paid from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and money from selling copies would go back into that fund.
