H.R. 7711 · 116th Congress
Badge Transparency Act of 2020
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.

Badge Transparency Act of 2020
This bill establishes a framework to require law enforcement officers to visibly display their identification while on duty.
Specifically, it requires federal law enforcement agencies to enact policies requiring on-duty officers to visibly display identification. State and local law enforcement agencies must implement a substantially similar policy as a condition of receiving funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program and the Community Oriented Policing Services program.
