Bill > HR860

This bill reauthorizes the Congressional Award Act by extending its authorization through October 1, 2028, with the amendment taking retroactive effect as of October 1, 2023. The bill makes two additional technical amendments to the existing law: first, it removes the specific language describing the composition of the Congressional Award medal (previously specified as gold-plate over bronze, rhodium over bronze, or bronze), and second, it slightly modifies the language related to how the medals are to be struck. The Congressional Award is a nonprofit, nonpartisan initiative established by Congress to recognize and reward young Americans who set and achieve personal goals through service to their communities, achievement in their personal development, and participation in expedition and exploration activities. By extending the program's authorization, the bill ensures the continued operation of this youth development and recognition program for an additional five years.
