H.R. 210 · 113th Congress
To require retail establishments that use mobile device tracking technology to display notices to that effect.
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 113th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
Requires a person who owns or operates a retail establishment and uses mobile device tracking technology in the establishment to display in a prominent location a notice that such technology is in use and that individuals can avoid being tracked by turning off their mobile devices.
