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.

American Offshore Wind Opportunity Act
This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study analyzing the policy and regulatory options that could be adopted to increase the roles of U.S. vessels and mariners in offshore wind turbine installation to meet the goal of developing 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
The bill requires the study to assess the number of workers needed to crew offshore vessels, the number of workers needed for related jobs (e.g., manufacturing and operating offshore wind projects), the skills required for such employment, and the gaps in the availability of registered apprenticeship programs.
The study must also assess the capacity of U.S. shipyards to build wind turbine installation vessels and consider the investments that would best promote the use of a U.S. manufactured fleet of offshore wind vessels.
