What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Charlie Kirk Congressional Gold Medal Act. It directs the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the award of two gold medals to Charles "Charlie" Kirk. The text states the medals recognize his life, service, and dedication to the people of the United States. One medal will be presented to his family, and the other will be given to the Smithsonian Institution for public display and preservation. The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for designing and striking the gold medals, and has the authority to strike and sell bronze duplicates.
