One medal goes to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Museum

The document says “shall”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF

What the document says
“one gold medal shall be given to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where it shall be displayed and made available for research, as appropriate”

To award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, in recognition of their extraordinary achievement at the 1980 Winter Olympics where, being comprised of amateur collegiate players, they defeated the dominant Soviet hockey team in the historic “Miracle on Ice”, revitalizing American morale at the height of the Cold War, inspiring generations and transforming the sport of hockey in the United States, Sec. 3

The third and last of the directions in subsection (c). One medal goes to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on the same two conditions as the other two: displayed, and made available for research, as appropriate. With this, all three medals are accounted for and none is given to a member of the team.

What the document actually says
“one gold medal shall be given to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where it shall be displayed and made available for research, as appropriate”

To award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, in recognition of their extraordinary achievement at the 1980 Winter Olympics where, being comprised of amateur collegiate players, they defeated the dominant Soviet hockey team in the historic “Miracle on Ice”, revitalizing American morale at the height of the Cold War, inspiring generations and transforming the sport of hockey in the United States, Sec. 3

That sentence, in plain words

One gold medal goes to the Olympic and Paralympic Museum. That museum is in Colorado Springs. It must put the medal on show. It must also let people study it.

What this is about

That is the last of the three medals. Each one goes to a museum. No medal goes to a player or to a family.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
