Schools Not Shelters 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.

Schools Not Shelters Act
This bill prohibits schools that receive certain federal financial assistance from using their facilities to shelter certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) unless the individual pays for such shelter.
Specifically, this prohibition shall apply to sheltering individuals who are (1) unlawfully present, or (2) subject to removal proceedings or a removal order and are not being detained by the Department of Homeland Security.
Under this bill, if an elementary school, secondary school, or institution of higher education receives financial assistance from a program administered by the Department of Education, that school or institution may not use its facilities to provide shelter to such individuals unless the individual is housed in a dormitory and pays the amount normally assessed to residents of that dormitory.
