H.Res. 1478 · 111th Congress
Supporting the goals and ideals of National HIV Testing Day, 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.
No cosponsors.
Expresses support for: (1) the goals and ideals of National HIV Testing Day; and (2) the development of a National AIDS strategy with clear goals and objectives to reduce new HIV infections.
