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.

No Illegal Oil from Russia Act of 2023
This bill directs the President to sanction foreign persons (i.e., individuals and entities) that do not comply with the Russian oil price cap policy.
The Russian oil price cap policy is an agreement between the United States, the European Union (EU), Australia, and the Group of Seven (G7) countries to limit the use of services that support or enable Russian oil shipments above an agreed-upon price cap.
The bill requires the President to block any transaction inside or within the control of the United States by a foreign person that has knowingly transported Russian oil in contravention of the Russian oil price cap policy. The sanctions shall not apply to a vessel under the jurisdiction of Australia, an EU member country, or a G7 country. Additional exceptions apply, such as for national security reasons, and the President may waive the sanctions in limited circumstances specified in the bill.
The authority to impose these sanctions sunsets five years after this bill's enactment or when the Russian oil price cap policy ends, whichever comes first.
The bill also requires the Department of State to report to Congress a strategy to enhance international compliance with the Russian oil price cap policy. The strategy must list countries that purchase oil above the price cap, detail the methods countries use to make such purchases and avoid detection, and present possible ways the United States could encourage broader compliance.
