Bill > S923

This bill, known as the Harriet Tubman Tribute Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to redesign $20 Federal Reserve notes to feature Harriet Tubman's likeness, with the new design to be implemented by December 31, 2030. The bill amends the Federal Reserve Act to mandate that all $20 bills printed after this date must include Tubman's image. However, the Secretary of the Treasury has some flexibility and can delay the implementation by up to two years if they determine, after consulting with relevant agencies like the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Federal Reserve Board, and the United States Secret Service, that immediate implementation would pose an unacceptable risk of counterfeiting or could disrupt the smooth functioning of the U.S. economy. This legislation represents a significant symbolic and historical recognition of Harriet Tubman, a prominent abolitionist and humanitarian who played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad during the 19th century, by placing her image on U.S. currency.
