H.R. 6030 · 117th Congress
Freedom to Travel 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.

Freedom to Travel Act of 2021
This bill prohibits common carriers from denying or refusing to transport a person who is not under lawful arrest except on specified grounds.
A common carrier may deny or refuse service if the individual fails or refuses to (1) pay the fare; (2) comply with the rules of the fare; or (3) submit to a legally required search for weapons, explosives, or incendiary devices likely to pose a safety threat. A common carrier may also deny or refuse service pursuant to a court order.
The bill sets out penalties for failing to comply with the prohibition, and states are not immune from suits for violations.
