The Harriet Tubman Tribute Act of 2025 requires the Treasury Secretary to redesign $20 bills to feature Harriet Tubman's likeness on the front. All newly printed $20 notes must include her image starting January 1, 2031, though the Treasury Secretary can delay this deadline by up to two years if necessary to prevent counterfeiting risks or economic disruption. The bill, introduced in the Senate in March 2025, was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation, as the redesign costs would be absorbed within the Treasury Department's existing budget for currency production. This change honors Harriet Tubman's legacy as an abolitionist and freedom fighter who escaped slavery and helped others do the same.
