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

Range Access Act
This bill provides for the creation of new target shooting ranges on public land.
Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior to publish a list that identifies whether each National Forest and each Bureau of Land Management district has a target shooting range that meets specified requirements. The departments must identify at least one suitable location for a range in each forest or district where (1) there is not currently a range that meets requirements, and (2) establishing a range is not prevented by law or a land use plan.
In at least one suitable location in each forest or district with a suitable location, the departments shall
- subject to the availability of appropriations, construct a range or modify an existing range; or
- enter into an agreement with an entity to establish or maintain a range.
A range established under this bill may not require a user to pay a fee to use the range.
