H.R. 3595 · 116th Congress
Charitable Donations Freedom 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 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Charitable Donations Freedom Act
This bill allows employees or officers of the federal government or the District of Columbia to accept donations of goods. (Under current law, the Antideficiency Act generally prohibits federal agencies or the District from accepting voluntary services or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. The bill specifies that the term "voluntary services" does not include the donation of goods.)
