Chuck Brown Commemorative Coin Act of 2026

Generated by VFA SI Solutions

To officially recognize and honor Chuck Brown's contributions to music and the District of Columbia through a symbolic designation.

Bipartisan rationale: Democratic priorities: honors a DC artist, supports arts education in underserved communities. Republican priorities: no new federal spending (self-funding), limited government involvement, sunset provision ensures expiration.

Funding: Surcharges on coin sales; no appropriated Variable based on sales; estim Sunset 5y Oversight: Government Accountability Offi Enforcement: Standard fraud and abuse provisions;
→ Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 (coin money) → Tenth Amendment (reserves to states, but coinage is federal)

Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 Amendment X
