Nick Shirley Congressional Gold Medal Act
This bill authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal for Nick Shirley in recognition of his investigative work on X (formerly Twitter) regarding alleged fraud in Minnesota. It cites his post claiming to uncover $110 million in fraud against taxpayers, though the bill does not verify these claims. The medal would be struck by the U.S. Mint, with bronze duplicates available for sale to cover costs. The bill is purely ceremonial and does not create new policies or affect any government programs. It follows standard procedure for Congressional Gold Medals awarded for non-legislative achievements.
