The "Woman on the Twenty Act of 2025" seeks to ensure that Harriet Tubman's portrait is prominently featured on the front face of all $20 notes. This legislation mandates that no $20 note printed after December 31, 2028, may be issued without her image. To facilitate this change, the bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to publicly release the preliminary design of the new $20 note by December 31, 2026. The bill's findings section highlights the historical context of U.S. currency, noting that no woman has ever been featured on general circulation paper money and referencing a 2016 announcement by the Treasury Secretary to place Harriet Tubman on the $20 note.
