H.R. 5637 · 111th Congress
American Jobs Matter Act of 2010
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.

American Jobs Matter Act of 2010 - Amends the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 to require an executive agency to state in a solicitation for competitive proposals that an offeror may submit information on the effects awarding the contract to the offeror would have on employment within the United States (jobs impact statement).
