H.R. 626 · 108th Congress

Ending the Double Standard for Stock Options Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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.

Requires Secretary to formulate rules where the stock option is granted by a parent or subsidiary corporation.

Excludes from the definition of "wages," for purposes of the research tax credit, the amount of property transferred in connection with a stock option and required to be included in a report or statement until such amount is so included.
