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.

Child Abuse Death Disclosure Act
This bill requires states receiving child welfare grants to report specified information about child deaths from maltreatment. Specifically, multidisciplinary teams from within the child welfare system in each state must
- make a finding concerning the causes of each child fatality during the annual review period;
- submit such findings to the Child Death Review Case Reporting System;
- develop recommendations to prevent future child deaths from maltreatment;
- submit annual reports with this information to the state’s governor and legislature; and
- if the number of child deaths in a state exceeds an established threshold, submit a report to the Children’s Bureau of the Administration for Children and Families.
Further, the Children’s Bureau must promulgate rules establishing standardized definitions for states to use in such reporting.
