Congressional Award Program Reauthorization Act of 2024
This bill reauthorizes the Congressional Award Program, which recognizes young Americans for achievements in community service, personal development, and expeditions. It extends the program's expiration date from October 1, 2024, to October 1, 2029, ensuring continued operation. The bill also makes minor editorial changes to the description of award medals (removing outdated phrasing about metal composition) but does not alter program eligibility or requirements. The Congressional Award Program itself is directly affected, as this reauthorization prevents its automatic termination. No new policy changes or beneficiary impacts are introduced.
