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.

Amends the Clean Air Act to direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow a state to opt out of the renewable fuel standard, other than with respect to the applicable volume of advanced biofuel, cellulosic biofuel, or biomass-based diesel, upon state enactment of a law electing to opt out.
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Aug 5, 2010
Amends the Clean Air Act to direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow a state to opt out of the renewable fuel standard, other than with respect to the applicable volume of advanced biofuel, cellulosic biofuel, or biomass-based diesel, upon state enactment of a law electing to opt out.
Requires the Administrator, upon a state making such election, to: (1) reduce the applicable volume of renewable fuel by the percentage that reflects the national gasoline consumption attributable to the state; and (2) provide for the generation of credits for all gasoline provided through a fuel terminal in the state to be calculated as though the gasoline were blended with the maximum allowable ethanol content of gasoline to apply toward the applicable volume of renewable fuel.
