Full title
To amend the Agricultural Adjustment Act to clarify that the delivery of milk to a handler under a Federal milk marketing order occurs when the raw milk is received at the producer's farm, and the producer may not be charged for transportation-related costs incurred by a handler after the raw milk leaves the farm, 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 111th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
