ALERT 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.

Accountability of Leaders in Education to Report Title IX Investigations Act or the ALERT Act
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require institutions of higher education (IHEs) that participate in federal student aid programs to annually certify with the Department of Education that the IHE's president and at least one additional member of the IHE's board of trustees have reviewed incidents involving the IHE's employees that were reported to the IHE in the last year involving domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The certification must include a confirmation that the president and any board member involved in the review did not interfere with or influence investigations or dispositions relating to the incidents.
