                                 A BILL


 
   To require the Secretary of the Treasury to redesign $20 Federal 
 reserve notes so as to include a likeness of Harriet Tubman, and for 
                            other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Harriet Tubman Tribute Act of 
2023''.

SEC. 2. LIKENESS OF HARRIET TUBMAN REQUIRED TO BE INCLUDED ON THE FACE 
              OF $20 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES.

    The eighth undesignated paragraph of section 16 of the Federal 
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 418) is amended by adding at the end the 
following new sentence: ``The Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure 
that the face of all $20 Federal reserve notes printed after December 
31, 2030, shall bear the likeness of Harriet Tubman, except that the 
Secretary may delay such date by not more than 2 years if the Secretary 
submits to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the 
Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of 
Representatives a determination, after consultation with the Director 
of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Board, and the Director of 
the United States Secret Service, that issuing such notes after 
December 31, 2030, would create an unacceptable risk of counterfeiting 
or to the safe, secure, and speedy functioning of the United States 
economy.''.
