S. 2741 · 115th Congress
SNIFF 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 requires a U.S. Postal Service employee at an international service center who has been properly trained to inspect the contents of a package that originated outside the United States and is addressed to a U.S. location to inspect the contents of such package, without obtaining a search warrant, if there is probable cause to believe that such package contains illicit materials, including matter that is nonmailable. Such requirement shall not apply if the employee believes that inspecting the contents of such a package would pose a risk of personal injury to the employee or other individuals.
