H.R. 2363 · 109th Congress

Peace Officer Justice 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 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Peace Officer Justice Act - Amends the federal criminal code to establish as a federal crime intentionally killing a peace officer engaged in, or on account of the performance of, such officer's official duties and moving or traveling in foreign commerce to avoid prosecution or confinement after conviction of that crime.
