To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Earl L. Nolte for acts of valor as a member of the Army during World War II.

This bill gives the President the legal authority to award the Medal of Honor to Earl L. Nolte for acts of valor while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. These acts were previously recognized with the Silver Star. The bill also waives the standard legal time limits that normally restrict how long after an event a military award can be presented.

* **Earl L. Nolte** (or his estate/representatives), making him eligible to receive the Medal of Honor. * **The President of the United States and the U.S. Army**, by giving them authorization to process and present this specific award despite standard time restrictions.

* **Award Eligibility:** The President would have permission to confer the Medal of Honor upon Earl L. Nolte for his World War II military service. * **Legal Deadlines:** The statutory time limit under federal law (Title 10, Section 7274 of the U.S. Code and related military regulations) that usually blocks decades-old military awards would be set aside for this specific case.

The provided summary does not mention any funding, appropriations, fees, or taxes associated with this bill.

* **Authorization vs. Requirement:** The bill authorizes (permits) the President to award the medal, but it does not mandate that the award must be given. * **Limited Scope:** The waiver of military award deadlines applies solely to Earl L. Nolte's actions during World War II and does not change award deadlines for anyone else.

This legislation removes time limits so the President is legally allowed to present the Medal of Honor to World War II Army veteran Earl L. Nolte for past acts of bravery.
