Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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.

New Skills for New Jobs Act

This bill directs the Department of the Treasury to make quarterly matching payments to an eligible community college in an amount equal to the aggregate new job tax withholding matches received by the college for providing qualified training to job trainees under a state new jobs training tax credit program.

Under a state new jobs training tax credit program, state income taxes that have been withheld by an employer on behalf of a trainee who has been employed are paid to the eligible community college, to the extent that the payment does not exceed the cost of qualified training specified in a contract between the college and the employer.

The bill also provides funding for Treasury to carry out the program.
