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 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Lucid Act of 2015
Makes eligible for federal-aid highway project grants a state whose law legalizes the possession or use of marijuana with or without medical justification only if that state:
- has in effect a law prohibiting an individual from driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while impaired by marijuana, and
- enforces that law using training and methods for determining cognitive or physical marijuana impairment.
Exempts those states from specified administrative penalties.
Revises the terms "driving while intoxicated" and "driving under the influence" to accord with this Act. Subjects repeat offenders to minimum civil and criminal penalties for driving a motor vehicle while impaired by marijuana in those states.
Directs the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to:
- study through scientific testing the extent to which marijuana impairs an individual's ability to drive a motor vehicle; and
- issue a report, and make it available electronically to the public, with recommendations to states on how to prevent marijuana-impaired driving.
