What it does
The Nick Shirley Congressional Gold Medal Act would authorize the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Nick Shirley in recognition of his investigative journalism that uncovered over $110 million in fraud against American taxpayers in Minnesota. The bill directs the Speaker of the House and Senate President pro tempore to arrange the medal’s presentation and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the medal, with duplicate bronze versions available for sale. Proceeds from duplicate medal sales would be deposited into the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and the medal would be designated a national medal and numismatic item under federal law.
