H.R. 3052 · 117th Congress
Digital Trade for Development 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.

This bill prohibits the President from designating any country as a beneficiary developing country if the country restricts digital trade to the detriment of U.S. development goals, strategic interests, or competitiveness. A country with such designation receives preferential trade treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences.
When designating any country as a beneficiary developing country, the President must, in addition to other factors, consider the extent to which such country has (1) refrained from imposing or eliminated digital trade barriers, and (2) taken steps to support consumer protections and the privacy of personal information online and to extend the benefits of digital trade to all.
