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.

Became law without a recorded vote. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted.

Preventing Maternal Deaths Act of 2018

(Sec. 2) This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize through FY2023 and revise certain Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programs that support state and local surveillance of maternal mortality.

Among other changes, the bill authorizes the CDC to support state and tribal maternal mortality review committees. Such committees must collect, analyze, and report specified data relating to pregnancy-associated deaths (i.e., deaths from any cause during, or within one year of, pregnancy) and pregnancy-related deaths (i.e., deaths from any cause during, or within one year of, pregnancy that are related to pregnancy or its management, excluding accidental or incidental causes).
