The bill would award Charles B. Rangel a Congressional Gold Medal after his death. The Treasury Secretary would choose the medal’s design, which must show Rangel’s image and name. After the medal is presented on Congress’s behalf, it would go to his children, Steven and Alicia. The Secretary could also make and sell bronze copies.
The bill would not create a direct benefit or requirement for the public. People could be able to buy bronze copies, at a price set to cover their costs.
The bill authorizes the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to pay the costs of making the medals. Money from sales of bronze copies would go back into that fund. The bill does not state exact amounts.
The bill’s findings describe Rangel’s military service and his work in Congress, including efforts related to veterans, underserved communities, health care, and international trade. The bill says the medal would recognize his contributions and his work to advance equality.
