SEC. 2. Findings

Congress finds the following:

The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad or , will be held in Los Angeles, California. LA28
The 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, officially known as the XXVII Olympic Winter Games 2034, will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This marks the return of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to the United States for the first time in 26 years, following the successful 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
The United States has hosted the modern Olympic Games 9 times, with the 2028 Games becoming the third time Los Angeles will host the summer Olympic Games and the 2034 Games becoming the second time Salt Lake City will host the Olympic Winter Games.
The Paralympic Games will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2028, with Los Angeles hosting the Paralympic Games for the first time.
Unlike some other countries, Olympic Games in the United States are privately funded. The LA28 and Salt Lake City-Utah 2034 Games maintain this model with its revenue generated by corporate partners, broadcast rights, licensing, hospitality, and ticket sales.
With the Paralympic Games coming to the United States, the 2028 and 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Games Commemorative Coin Program have the opportunity to increase awareness and create more inclusivity for people with disabilities with the creation of a single, unifying coin to commemorate the Games.
