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.

This bill prohibits the Department of the Interior from acquiring land that would increase the total acreage of federal land in the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
If Interior takes into federal ownership nonfederal land that results in an increase of the total acreage of federal land in the park, it must convey out of federal ownership at least an equal acreage via sale, exchange, or donation.
Any sale of federal land under this bill shall be offered for sale
- not later than one year after Interior takes into federal ownership nonfederal land that results in an increase of the total acreage of federal land in the park,
- subject to valid existing rights,
- at fair market value (with an exception), and
- at a price that is reduced by 10% each month that the federal land is not sold or under contract to be sold by six months after the federal land was first offered for sale.
If the value of the federal land that is part of a land exchange is less than the value of the nonfederal land for which it is exchanged, the value of the exchanged land must be equalized by a cash payment.
