The bill requires a redesign of the $100 note with a specified portrait and fixed deadlines — providing public notice and clearer production timing but imposing added costs, operational burdens, and risks of politicizing U.S. currency.
All Americans will get a public preview of the redesigned $100 note by Dec 31, 2026, increasing transparency and public awareness of planned currency changes.
Federal employees at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will have a clear statutory deadline (Dec 31, 2028) to plan production schedules and transition logistics, aiding an orderly rollout.
Taxpayers will likely face higher federal costs to redesign, produce, and distribute the redesigned $100 note, increasing Treasury expenditures.
Small businesses and banks will incur logistical and transition costs to phase in new notes and handle old stock, potentially disrupting commerce in the short term.
