Summary of Bill HR 860

Bill 119 HR 860, also known as the Congressional Award Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to reauthorize the Congressional Award program. The Congressional Award program is a public-private partnership that was established by Congress in 1979 to recognize and reward young Americans for their achievements in various areas such as volunteerism, personal development, and physical fitness.

The program is open to all young people between the ages of 13 and 23, and participants can earn bronze, silver, and gold medals based on their accomplishments in these areas. The program is non-competitive and allows participants to set their own goals and work at their own pace to achieve them.

The reauthorization of the Congressional Award Act would ensure that the program continues to receive funding and support from Congress, allowing more young people to participate and benefit from the program. The bill includes provisions for the program's funding, administration, and oversight to ensure that it remains effective and accessible to all young Americans. Overall, Bill 119 HR 860 seeks to continue the important work of the Congressional Award program in recognizing and rewarding the achievements of young Americans in various areas of personal development and community service.
