Extends the Congressional Award program, letting young people continue earning recognition for service.
This bill would let the Congressional Award program continue for five more years, until October 1, 2028. Young people across the country would still be able to earn awards for their community service and personal development. The bill would also remove specific rules about what the program's medals must be made of.
Today, the Congressional Award program was legally set to end on October 1, 2023, and medals had specific material requirements. If this bill becomes law, the program's end date would be extended to October 1, 2028, with this change taking effect retroactively to October 1, 2023. Also, the legal rules about what materials must be used for the program's medals would be removed.
