S. 4902 · 117th Congress
Invent Here, Make Here for Homeland Security 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.

Invent Here, Make Here for Homeland Security Act
This bill restricts the manufacture abroad of products invented using funding provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Specifically, the bill prohibits a firm or nonprofit organization which receives title to any subject invention developed under a funding agreement with DHS from granting to any person the exclusive right to use or sell such invention unless that person agrees that any products embodying, or produced through the use of, such invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States.
The bill authorizes waivers of this prohibition in certain instances, but prohibits waivers for products that will be manufactured substantially in a country of concern, including North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran.
