H.R. 7514 · 116th Congress
Gabby’s Law 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.
No cosponsors.
This bill requires hospitals, as a condition of Medicare participation, to adopt sepsis protocols that meet specified standards. Among other requirements, such protocols must include identification and treatment of sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock in individuals of all ages in emergency departments and as part of inpatient services.
