Full title
To require the Secretary of Agriculture to prepare an annual report specifying the number of permanent and temporary non-Federal employees for local offices of the Farm Service Agency that will be needed to efficiently and effectively handle the workload generated by recurring and anticipated agriculture programs administered by the Farm Service Agency and the funding levels necessary to support such workforce, and for other purposes.
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 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
