New Partnerships Initiative Authorization 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.

New Partnerships Initiative Authorization Act
This bill provides statutory authority for the New Partnerships Initiative within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The initiative aims to diversify the USAID's partner base by creating avenues for new, underutilized, and local partners to work with, and access funding from, the USAID. The bill defines
- new partner as a nonprofit that has not received USAID funding as a prime partner in the past five years,
- underutilized partner as a nonprofit that has received less than $25 million in direct or indirect awards from the USAID in the past five years, and
- local partner as a local entity or locally established partner of a U.S.-based nonprofit.
The USAID must annually report to Congress on funding awarded to new, underutilized, and local partners.
