The Secretary of Transportation may provide—
(1)the decorations and medals authorized by this chapter and replacements for those decorations and medals; and
(2)replacements for decorations and medals issued under a prior law.
(Pub. L. 109–304, § 8(b), Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1585; Pub. L. 109–163, div. C, title XXXV, § 3510, Jan. 6, 2006, 119 Stat. 3557; Pub. L. 110–181, div. C, title XXXV, § 3523(a)(5)(A), (b), Jan. 28, 2008, 122 Stat. 599, 600.)
The Secretary’s authority to provide decorations and medals at cost, or to authorize the sale of decorations and medals at reasonable prices, is restated to apply only to replacement awards because Congress probably did not intend that recipients being honored would pay for their decorations and medals.
