H.R. 9032 · 116th Congress
SCHEME Against Congressional Access 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.

This bill requires the Sergeants at Arms of the House of Representatives and the Senate to develop an interagency plan to assess whether employees of either chamber have connections to, and intend to engage in unlawful activity to the advantage of, the Chinese Communist Party. If an individual meets both of these criteria, the employing office for the individual must terminate their employment and refer them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for appropriate investigation.
