Frank Siller Congressional Gold Medal Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Frank Siller Congressional Gold Medal Act authorizes congressional leaders to present a gold medal to Frank Siller in recognition of his work memorializing the September 11, 2001 attacks, supporting loved ones affected by the attacks, and advocating for those who serve. The Treasury Secretary must strike the gold medal. The bill also provides for duplicate bronze medals that can be sold to the public and establishes status treatment for the medals under federal numismatic law. Costs of the gold medal and duplicate medals are charged to the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund, while proceeds from duplicate bronze medal sales are deposited back into that fund.
Who Benefits and How
Frank Siller, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation community, September 11 families, first responders, military families, and supporters of 9/11 memorial work benefit from congressional recognition. Collectors and members of the public benefit from the ability to buy duplicate bronze medals. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund receives proceeds from bronze medal sales, and congressional leaders receive a formal vehicle for honoring Siller's memorial and service-support work.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Treasury Secretary and U.S. Mint staff must design, strike, and manage the gold medal and duplicate bronze medals. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund bears production costs before receiving any duplicate-medal sale proceeds. Federal numismatic staff must handle status treatment and accounting. The bill does not create a programmatic grant for 9/11 families or first responders, so the practical burden is concentrated on medal production and fund administration.
