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.

Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to prohibit the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) from implementing the otherwise required 50% sequestrations for FY2014 and FY2015 of discretionary appropriations and direct spending accounts within function 050 (defense function) under the Act.
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Dec 17, 2013
Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to prohibit the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) from implementing the otherwise required 50% sequestrations for FY2014 and FY2015 of discretionary appropriations and direct spending accounts within function 050 (defense function) under the Act.
Requires OMB instead to reduce such discretionary appropriations and direct spending amounts by $15 billion for FY2014 and $30 billion for FY2015.
Requires OMB for each of FY2016-FY2021 to increase the otherwise applicable amount of the reduction to such discretionary appropriations and direct spending accounts by different specified amounts. (Thus implements the originally required cuts, in their entirety, over the duration of sequestration.)
Requires:
- OMB to issue a revised sequestration preview report for FY2014 and a revised report on the Joint Committee reductions for FY2014 to reflect the amendments made by this Act, and
- the President to issue a revised sequestration order of direct spending budgetary reductions for FY2014.
