IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Sherman (for himself, Mr. Lucas, Mr. Calvert, Ms. Kamlager-Dove, 
and Mr. Moore of Utah) introduced the following bill; which was 
referred to the Committee on Financial Services

_______________________________________________________________________

A BILL

To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration 
of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, California, 
and the 2034 Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, 
Utah.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``America's Olympic and Paralympic 
Games Commemorative Coins Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, officially known 
as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad or ``LA28'', will be held in 
Los Angeles, California.
(2) The 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, 
officially known as the XXVII Olympic Winter Games 2034, will 
be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
(3) This marks the return of the Olympic and Paralympic 
Games to the United States for the first time in 26 years, 
following the successful 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter 
Games in Salt Lake City.
(4) The United States has hosted the modern Olympic Games 9 
times, with the 2028 Games becoming the third time Los Angeles 
will host the summer Olympic Games and the 2034 Games becoming 
the second time Salt Lake City will host the Olympic Winter 
Games.
(5) The Paralympic Games will celebrate its 80th 
anniversary in 2028, with Los Angeles hosting the Paralympic 
Games for the first time.
(6) Unlike some other countries, Olympic Games in the 
United States are privately funded. The LA28 and Salt Lake 
City-Utah 2034 Games maintain this model with its revenue 
generated by corporate partners, broadcast rights, licensing, 
hospitality, and ticket sales.
(7) With the Paralympic Games coming to the United States, 
the 2028 and 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Games Commemorative 
Coin Program have the opportunity to increase awareness and 
create more inclusivity for people with disabilities with the 
creation of a single, unifying coin to commemorate the Games.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

In this Act, the term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the 
Treasury.
