H.R. 4572 · 109th Congress
Export Administration Renewal Act of 2005
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.
No cosponsors.
Export Administration Renewal Act of 2005 - Amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to declare it U.S. policy to utilize the analytic product of the U.S. intelligence community for the consideration of any proposed license under the Act.
