Hmong Congressional Gold Medal Act

This section authorizes the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the presentation of a gold medal to the Hmong people. This medal serves as a formal recognition from Congress for their highly distinguished service during the Vietnam War and their contributions to the fight against communism.

This provision directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal with appropriate emblems and inscriptions. After its presentation, the medal will be given to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research. Congress also expresses a desire for the Smithsonian to make the medal available for display at other relevant locations, especially those affiliated with the Smithsonian and associated with the Hmong people's service.

These sections authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the gold medal. These duplicates will be sold at a price sufficient to cover all associated costs. Additionally, the bill clarifies that all medals struck under this Act are considered national medals and numismatic items under existing United States Code, ensuring their legal and administrative status.
