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.

Declares that U.S.-produced taconite pellets shall be considered an article like or directly competitive with semi-finished steel slabs for purposes of: (1) any International Trade Commission determination that semi-finished steel slabs are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury (or threat) to the domestic industry producing taconite pellets (thus requiring remedial action); (2) any investigation leading to the imposition of countervailing and antidumping duties; and (3) the Secretary of Labor's determination of the eligibility of a group of adversely-affected workers for trade adjustment assistance.
