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.
Agreed to without a recorded vote. It was agreed to by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted.

What it does: CRS summary · Passed Senate · Feb 3, 2021
This resolution establishes certain procedures for the Senate during the 117th Congress.
Specifically, the resolution requires that the committees of the Senate, including joint committees and special committees, be equally composed of members of both parties. The budgets and office space for these committees must also be equal. These ratios shall remain in effect for the duration of the 117th Congress unless a party attains a majority of the whole number of Senators, at which time the ratios must be adjusted to reflect the ratio of the parties in the Senate.
Further, the resolution establishes procedures for discharging committees and subcommittees from further consideration of items that have not been reported due to a tie vote, and it prohibits a cloture motion from being filed on an amendable item of business during its first 12 hours of debate.
