H.R. 5566 · 113th Congress
SMART Grant Reauthorization Act of 2014
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.

- a major in the physical, life, or computer sciences, mathematics, technology, or engineering or a critical foreign language; or
- equivalent coursework in a qualifying liberal arts program that does not allow students to declare a major in a particular subject matter.
