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.

Chiropractic Membership in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Act of 2017
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to make certain doctors of chiropractic (chiropractors) eligible for appointment to the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. To be appointed, a chiropractor must be eligible for licensure in a majority of the states or approved by a body acceptable to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS and the Surgeon General must ensure that such chiropractors are trained, equipped, and otherwise prepared to fulfill public health and emergency response service responsibilities in the Commissioned Corps.
The President must appoint at least six chiropractors to the commissioned Regular Corps and the Ready Reserve Corps.
The Surgeon General must report to Congress on measures taken by the President, Surgeon General, and HHS to carry out this bill.
