Introduced Feb 24, 2025 by Rep. Claudia Tenney
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill directs the Department of the Treasury to mint and issue coins in recognition of the bicentennial of the Erie Canal. The designs of the coins must be emblematic of the Erie Canal and its impact on the development of the United States and New York.
All sales of coins issued under this bill must include a surcharge to be paid to the Erie Canalway Heritage Fund, Inc., to support the historic preservation and community development of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor in New York and for educational and commemorative programs.
