H.R. 6534 · 115th Congress
Stop Outsourcing Security 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.
17 cosponsors · 17 D

This bill requires the Department of State to ensure that only U.S. government personnel are providing diplomatic security services at diplomatic or consular missions in areas of contingency operations or other significant military operations.
