WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters because it provides a tangible way to honor and remember Rosa Parks' critical role in the Civil Rights Movement. By creating commemorative coins, it helps educate current and future generations about her bravery and enduring legacy, keeping her story alive in a physical form that can be collected and appreciated.
If this bill becomes law, it ensures that the U.S. Mint produces these specific coins, celebrating a significant historical figure. If it doesn't pass, these particular coins would not be minted, potentially missing an opportunity to nationally recognize her contributions through this medium.
KEY PROVISIONS
3AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Requires the U.S. Treasury to mint three types of commemorative coins: $5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar clad coins.
This establishes the core action of the bill, creating new collectible items to honor Rosa Parks.
PROVISION 02
Specifies that the coins must be emblematic of Rosa Parks' legacy and include her name and likeness on at least one design, bearing the year "2029."
This ensures the coins directly celebrate Rosa Parks and sets key aesthetic and temporal parameters for their design.
PROVISION 03
Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to consult with the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development and the Commission of Fine Arts on coin designs, which will also be reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
This provision ensures that relevant organizations and experts have input into the design process, aiming for historical accuracy and artistic merit.
