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 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Specifically, during any period in which the Armed Forces or the National Guard are performing active service at the U.S. southern land border, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must resume all activities related to constructing physical barriers and accompanying infrastructure that were underway or planned prior to January 20, 2021.
DHS must also (1) expend all funds appropriated or explicitly authorized for constructing such a border barrier system on or after October 1, 2016; and (2) honor all agreements related to the construction of the border barrier system that were entered into before January 20, 2021, with the consent of all applicable parties to revive such agreements.
DHS may not cancel any contracts for the construction of the border barrier system entered into on or before January 20, 2021.
The bill also extends the availability of certain funds made available from FY2018 through FY2021 for construction of the border barrier system.
