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.

Future of Aviation Act
This bill expands the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) to include grant coverage for current and future electric power requirements of public-use airports.
Specifically, this bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish a program and provide airport sponsors grants to conduct airport development to increase energy efficiency or meet future electrical power demands.
The bill also expands two definitions under the AIP to specify that (1) airport development includes an on-airport project to meet current and future electrical power demand, and (2) airport planning includes assessing current and future electrical power demand.
The FAA may also establish an AIP pilot program to provide funding for electric aircraft infrastructure. Up to 10 public-use airports may be eligible for grants to carry out (1) the acquisition, operation, and installation of equipment to support electric aircraft operations; and (2) the construction or modification of infrastructure for power delivery or services for electric aircraft.
