H.R. 4207 · 117th Congress
Political Appointments Inclusion and Diversity 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.

Political Appointments Inclusion and Diversity Act
This bill requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in coordination with the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, to publish a report on OPM's public website containing summary level information on the demographics of political appointees.
Each published report shall include for each type of appointee self-identified data on race, ethnicity, tribal affiliation, gender, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, and whether the appointee is over the age of 40. Such a report shall allow for users of OPM's website to view the type of appointee by agency or component, along with these self-identified data, alone and in combination, without allowing the identification of the appointee.
When collecting each category of data, each appointee shall be allowed an option to not specify with respect to any category.
