U.S. Marshals Service Commemorative Coin Legislation
Thanks to your support and hard work, we gained the needed number of co-sponsors for H.R. 886 and S. 431. H.R. 886 passed in the House in mid-December and we anticipate S. 431 will be passed in the Senate when they return from break. The passage of these bills will produce a commemorative coin (to be minted in 2015) honoring the 225th Anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service, our nation's oldest federal law enforcement agency.
Please take a minute to thank your Congressional representatives for their support. Below is a link to the list of co-sponsors. We are especially grateful to Representative Steve Womack, Representative Mike Ross, Senator Mark Pryor, and Senator John Boozman for making this happen.
As a reminder, this legislation is budget neutral and will not cost the taxpayer anything.
The first $5 million from the surcharge will be distributed to the U.S. Marshals Museum. Any surcharges collected in excess of $5 million will be distributed equally to the following organizations:
- National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
- National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
- Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association
