H.R. 1729 · 117th Congress
Fair Access to Banking 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 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
82 cosponsors · 82 R
27 signed on when it was introduced; the rest joined later. Cosponsors who withdrew aren't shown.
This bill restricts certain banks, credit unions, and payment card networks from refusing to do business with a person who is in compliance with the law.
