Nick Shirley Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill, HR 6942 (Nick Shirley Congressional Gold Medal Act), authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal for Nick Shirley in recognition of his investigative journalism as described in the bill. It directs the Treasury Secretary to strike a gold medal honoring Shirley for "uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse" against taxpayers, as stated in the bill's findings. The medal would be presented by congressional leaders, with bronze duplicates available for sale to cover costs. The bill is procedural and commemorative, not a policy measure affecting laws or regulations. (Note: The bill's claims about fraud in Minnesota and its references to specific events contain demonstrably false information, but the summary reflects only the text provided.)
