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.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Dec 20, 2021
This bill establishes a U.S. policy to oppose certain financial assistance to Burma (Myanmar) and addresses related issues.
Specifically, the Department of the Treasury must instruct U.S. representatives to the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group, and the Asian Development Bank to inform the respective institution that it is U.S. policy to oppose and vote against any loan or financial assistance to Burma through the State Administration Council or any successor entity controlled by Burma's military. This policy shall not apply to humanitarian assistance implemented by an entity not controlled by Burma's military.
The President may waive this policy on a case-by-case basis upon certifying that doing so would substantially promote delivering humanitarian assistance to Burma's civilian population or otherwise support U.S. national interests.
This policy shall be repealed upon the earlier of (1) the President certifying that certain events have occurred, including Burma's military releasing all political prisoners and the instatement of an elected government following free and fair elections; or (2) 10 years after this bill's enactment.
