Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in recognition of the life and legacy of Rosa Parks.
AI Summary
This bill aims to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins honoring Rosa Parks, a pivotal civil rights activist known for her historic act of resistance against racial segregation in 1955. The bill calls for the creation of three types of commemorative coins: a $5 gold coin (limited to 50,000), a $1 silver coin (limited to 400,000), and a half-dollar clad coin (limited to 750,000), all to be issued in 2029. The coins will feature designs that honor Parks' legacy, including her name and likeness, and standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "In God We Trust". The coin designs will be selected in consultation with the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute and the Commission of Fine Arts. Each coin will include a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) that will be donated to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute to support youth development and civil rights education. The bill emphasizes Parks' significant contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, highlighting her pivotal role in challenging racial segregation, her work with the NAACP, and her enduring impact as a symbol of resistance and social justice. The Treasury is required to ensure that the coin program does not result in a net cost to the government and that all design and production expenses are recovered before any surcharge funds are distributed.
