HR 3588 United States House · 118th Congress

To award a Congressional Gold Medal posthumously to Dr. John Cheng, a hero who died protecting others on May 15, 2022.

HR 3588 authorizes a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal for Dr. John Cheng, a Laguna Niguel, California physician who died protecting 40 parishioners during a 2022 church shooting. The bill directs the Treasury Secretary to design and strike the medal, which will be presented to Dr. Cheng's wife. It also permits the minting of bronze duplicates for sale, with proceeds covering production costs, and includes a non-binding request for expedited production. This commemorative measure honors Dr. Cheng's sacrifice and service, with no direct policy impact on current laws or regulations.
