Congressional Tribute to Constance Baker Motley Act of 2025

This provision authorizes the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to arrange for the posthumous award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Constance Baker Motley. The medal is intended to recognize her lasting contributions and service to the United States, acknowledging her historical significance as a civil rights lawyer and federal judge.

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal, ensuring it includes an image and inscription of Constance Baker Motley's name. It specifies that the medal will be presented to her son, Joel Motley III, and her niece, Constance Royster, and ultimately given to Joel Motley III for permanent keeping. This ensures the medal's design reflects her identity and that her family receives and retains this honor.

These sections authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the gold medal to the public at a price covering costs. They also classify all medals struck under this Act as national medals and numismatic items for purposes of title 31, United States Code. Furthermore, the bill authorizes the use of the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover medal costs, with proceeds from duplicate sales deposited back into the fund, establishing the financial and legal framework for the medal's production and sale.
