H.Res. 1446 · 110th Congress
Expressing the importance of swimming lessons and recognizing the danger of drowning in the United States…
Full title
Expressing the importance of swimming lessons and recognizing the danger of drowning in the United States, especially among minority children.
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 110th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
