S. 3410 · 115th Congress
Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies 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 amends the Internal Revenue Code to impose a tax on large employers whose employees receive certain federal benefits during the year. A "large employer" is an employer who employed an average of at least 500 employees on business days during the preceding year.
The tax is equal to the benefits that the employees receive under:
- the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program),
- the school lunch and school breakfast programs administered under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966,
- section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, and
- Medicaid.
The bill also prohibits large employers from asking questions or seeking information about whether a job applicant receives federal benefits.
