H.R. 2178 · 115th Congress

Low-Wage Federal Contractor Employee Back Pay Act of 2017

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 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

This bill amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 to require the federal government to provide compensation to the employees of federal contractors that provide retail, food, custodial, and security services to the federal government if such employees are placed on unpaid leave as a result of any lapse in appropriations beginning in FY2017.
