Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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.

This bill allows sole proprietors a retroactive elective deferral under a tax-exempt retirement plan that is adopted after the close of the taxable year and before the time for the filing of the individual's tax return. The elective deferral is treated as made prior to the end of the plan's first plan year.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Apr 30, 2021

This bill allows sole proprietors a retroactive elective deferral under a tax-exempt retirement plan that is adopted after the close of the taxable year and before the time for the filing of the individual's tax return. The elective deferral is treated as made prior to the end of the plan's first plan year.

An elective deferral is an amount contributed to certain tax-exempt retirement plans (e.g., 401(k)s, 403(b)s, SIMPLE pension plans and IRAs) by an employer at the employee's election and which, except to the extent they are designated Roth IRA contributions, are excludable from the employee's gross income.
