President Jimmy Carter Congressional Gold Medal Act

This legislation, known as the President Jimmy Carter Congressional Gold Medal Act , mandates the posthumous award of a Congressional Gold Medal to former President Jimmy Carter. This prestigious honor is intended to recognize his profound and lasting service to the United States and the world. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate are tasked with making the necessary arrangements for the presentation of this unique medal. The Secretary of the Treasury will be responsible for designing and striking the gold medal, which will feature an image and inscription of Jimmy Carter's name. After its presentation, the medal will be permanently housed at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Secretary to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the medal to the public, with the proceeds covering the costs of production and being deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
