H.R. 2588 · 115th Congress
Preventing Unconstitutional Collection 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.
This bill amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to require the Department of Justice's and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's procedures for targeting communications of non-U.S.
