Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 6278, the Charlie Kirk Congressional Gold Medal Act, would award two Congressional Gold Medals to Charles "Charlie" Kirk, a conservative youth activist and radio personality, in recognition of his life and contributions to American political discourse. According to the bill, Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012, which grew into a major conservative youth organization with hundreds of chapters, and hosted a popular radio show and political summits; the bill characterizes him as an advocate for traditional American values and constitutional principles. One medal would be presented to Kirk's family, while the second would be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution. The Secretary of the Treasury would design and strike the medals, and is authorized to produce and sell duplicate bronze versions to recover costs, with any proceeds returned to the U.S. Mint. The legislation contains no specific funding appropriation or implementation timeline beyond standard Congressional Gold Medal procedures.
