AR 99 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges U.S. Department of Treasure to place Harriet Tubman on $20 bill without delay.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 99 is a symbolic resolution urging the U.S. Treasury Department to place Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill immediately, rather than proceeding with current plans to delay the change until 2026. The resolution highlights Tubman's historical contributions as an Underground Railroad conductor, Civil War spy and scout, and advocate for freedom and equality. It has no legal effect but formally requests the Treasury accelerate the redesign process. The resolution was introduced by Assemblywoman Carol Murphy and will be sent to Treasury officials and congressional leaders for consideration.
