H.R. 4529 · 118th Congress
Public Health Guidance Transparency and Accountability Act of 2023
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.

Public Health Guidance Transparency and Accountability Act of 2023
This bill establishes certain standards and requirements for guidance documents that are issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The bill specifies that CDC guidance documents may not create, restrict, or revoke any right of any person, may not be treated as having the force and effect of law, are not binding on the public or state or local agencies, and may not require an individual to take or refrain from an action. The bill also requires the CDC to develop guidance documents with input from the public, including with respect to emerging public health situations.
The CDC must post a list of all its guidance documents on its website and provide for an appeals process to address complaints about any violations of the bill's requirements.
