H.R. 3856 · 118th Congress
Mango Plant Health Initiative 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.

Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide competitive grants for
- studying potential resistance and tolerance of mangos to native and nonnative disease and insect pests;
- conducting research for treatment of pests that affect mangos;
- conducting field studies to evaluate cultivars of mangos with enhanced resistance to diseases and pests;
- educating growers on best practices to promote the safe production of mangos; and
- establishing area-wide integrated pest management programs in areas affected by, or at risk of being affected by, specified pathogens or pests.
The bill also extends the authority for several existing USDA high-priority research and extension initiatives through FY2028.
