Full title
To prohibit any hiring freeze from affecting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.
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 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This bill exempts the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from any action by the President to prevent federal agencies from creating or filling civilian employee positions.
