Bryan's Law
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Bryan's Law - Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) to require institutions of higher education, if they participate in any program under title IV (Student Assistance) of HEA, to notify parents concerning missing person reports about their children.
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Apr 29, 2003
Requires each such institution, after its campus police or security authority receives a report that a resident student younger than age 21 is missing, to make a preliminary investigation and, if such authority cannot verify that the student is safe within 24 hours of receiving the report, to: (1) notify the student's parents, or if appropriate, any other individual listed as an emergency contact person for the student in its records, and the local police agency; and (2) cooperate with the local police agency regarding the investigation.
Authorizes the Secretary of Education to waive such requirements upon the request of a State that has enacted a law with similar requirements.
