Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

What this bill would do

This bill orders the Secretary of the Treasury to create and sell special commemorative coins for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, California, and the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. It sets specific limits on how many gold, silver, and clad half-dollar coins can be minted for each set of games. The bill requires these coins to be sold at a price that covers their face value, production costs, and an extra surcharge. These collected surcharges will then be paid out to the organizations hosting the games to help fund the events and related programs. Finally, the bill ensures that the minting and issuing process will not result in any net cost to the federal government.
