BOARD Fairly Act
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.

Bumping on Overbooked Airplanes Requires Dealing Fairly Act or the BOARD Fairly Act
This bill directs the Department of Transportation to modify a federal regulation relating to oversold flights to ensure that an air carrier:
- may not refuse to transport a passenger holding a confirmed reserved seat on a flight to provide a seat for another passenger, regardless of whether such passenger is an air carrier employee;
- negotiates and solicits a volunteer to relinquish his or her space before boarding the aircraft; and
- if necessary, continues to increase the amount of compensation offered until a volunteer willingly accepts the offer in exchange for relinquishing a confirmed reserved seat.
