PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-03-03 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed Golden Age Act of 2025 would require all U.S. $100 notes printed after December 31, 2028, to prominently show Donald J. Trump’s portrait on the front. It would also require the Treasury Secretary to publish a preliminary design by December 31, 2026. The requirement concerns printing notes, rather than replacing notes already circulating.
This Act may be cited as the Golden Age Act of 2025.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no $100 note of the United States currency may be printed after December 31, 2028, which does not prominently feature a portrait of Donald J. Trump on the front face of the note
The Secretary of Treasury shall release to the public the preliminary design of the $100 note prominently featuring a portrait of Donald J. Trump not later than December 31, 2026.
Section 2(a) would add the portrait requirement to section 5114(b) of title 31 of the United States Code. It would override the preceding statutory sentence where that sentence conflicts with this requirement, but the supplied bill does not reproduce that sentence.
Section 5114(b) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no $100 note of the United States currency may be printed after December 31, 2028, which does not prominently feature a portrait of Donald J. Trump on the front face of the note
Section 2(b) would make public release of a preliminary design mandatory for the Treasury Secretary, with a deadline of December 31, 2026. This is a preliminary-design deadline, not a requirement to begin printing the redesigned notes by that date.
The Secretary of Treasury shall release to the public the preliminary design of the $100 note prominently featuring a portrait of Donald J. Trump not later than December 31, 2026.

Findings to examine

Donald J. Trump would receive the specific recognition of being the required prominent portrait subject on the front of every U.S. $100 note printed after December 31, 2028. This named-person preference is the bill’s central currency-design policy.
