Sarah Collins Rudolph Civil Rights Compensation Act of 2021
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.

An individual is a direct victim and may receive payment if the individual (1) is a U.S. citizen, (2) sustained an injury as a result of racial violence during the civil rights era, (3) can provide evidence of the injury sustained through medical records, and (4) is incurring expenses related to that injury.
The benefit amount is the cost of the individual's medical care associated with the injury, as demonstrated by the direct victim's medical records.
A family member of a direct victim shall be eligible for a benefit if he or she is responsible for the costs related to the injury and the direct victim is deceased.
