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.

Specifically, SAMHSA must
- develop and publish on its website standards and guidelines for recovery housing;
- award grants to states, tribal nations, territories, and localities to implement such standards and guidelines;
- convene an interagency working group to coordinate federal activities related to recovery housing; and
- arrange for research on the supply, quality, and effectiveness of recovery housing.
