Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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.

Stop Meth Labs and Enhance Patient Access Act of 2015

This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to revise the standard used by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to determine whether to exempt a scheduled listed chemical product from certain applicable requirements. (A scheduled listed chemical product is a nonprescription drug product that contains ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine.)

Currently, the DEA may exempt retail sales of a scheduled listed chemical product from certain requirements (e.g., daily sales limits) if the product cannot be used to illegally manufacture methamphetamine. This bill allows the DEA to exempt retail sales of a scheduled listed chemical product from such requirements if it is not practical by processes known to be employed by clandestine laboratory operators to use the product to illegally manufacture methamphetamine.
