Woman on the Twenty Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Woman on the Twenty Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would replace Andrew Jackson's portrait on the $20 bill with an image of a woman. The specific woman to be honored has not been designated in the bill's basic information, though historically this type of legislation has referenced honoring pioneering women in American history. If passed, it would require the Treasury Department and Bureau of Engraving and Printing to redesign and produce new $20 bills featuring the chosen woman's likeness. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would affect anyone using U.S. currency, as new $20 bills would gradually enter circulation. The change would be primarily symbolic, honoring women's contributions to American history.
The legislation would require coordination between federal agencies responsible for currency production and design. There is no fiscal impact mentioned beyond the standard costs of producing new currency designs (which occur periodically regardless). **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) and is currently in committee. This means it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Many bills introduced in Congress remain in committee and do not advance to a vote.
