Robert Cleckler (Bobby) Bowden Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill authorizes a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal to honor college football coach Bobby Bowden, recognizing his coaching legacy at Florida State University (316-97-4 record, 2 national titles) and humanitarian work. The medal, designed by the Treasury Secretary, will be presented to Bowden's next of kin after his death. Bronze duplicates may be sold to cover production costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint's enterprise fund. The bill has no policy impact - it is purely a ceremonial tribute with no effect on laws or public programs.
