H.R. 5338 · 115th Congress
Stop Needless Award Payments Act of 2018
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.
No cosponsors.
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to repeal the authority of the Department of Agriculture to award bonus payment to states that demonstrate high or improved performance in administering the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program).
