S. 595 · 115th Congress
Boots on the Border Act of 2017
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.

Anti-Border Corruption Reauthorization Act of 2017
(Sec. 2) This bill amends the Anti-Border Corruption Act of 2010 to expand the categories of applicants for law enforcement positions with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for whom polygraph examinations may be waived.
(Sec. 3) An applicant who receives such a waiver and who holds a Tier 4 background investigation shall be subject to a Tier 5 background investigation.
The CBP may administer a polygraph examination to an applicant for a law enforcement position who received a waiver if the CBP determines, based on information discovered prior to the completion of a background investigation, that a polygraph is necessary to make a final determination with respect to the suitability of the individual for the position.
