Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., today applauded the swift passage of H.R. 2421, the Mother's Day Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, a bill that will direct the Department of Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of the centennial of the establishment of Mother's Day. The legislation, sponsored by Capito, has 291 co-sponsors in the House and will now move to the Senate for consideration.
"As a daughter, a mother and most recently, a grandmother, I'm encouraged by my colleagues support in honoring this important day celebrated by families across our nation," said Capito. "I now look forward to the Senate's swift passage of the Mother's Day Coin Act so the bill may be signed into law."
