S. 726 · 115th Congress
Gary Deloney and John Olsen Toxic Exposure Declassification 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.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Mar 27, 2017
Gary Deloney and John Olsen Toxic Exposure Declassification Act
This bill directs the Department of Defense (DOD) to declassify documents related to any known incident in which at least 100 members of the Armed Forces were exposed to a toxic substance that resulted in at least one case of a disability that a member of the medical profession has determined is associated with that substance.
Such declassification shall be limited to information necessary for a potentially exposed individual to determine:
- whether that individual was exposed,
- the potential severity of the exposure, and
- any potential health conditions that may have resulted.
DOD is not required to declassify documents if it determines that declassification would materially and immediately threaten U.S. security.
