H.R. 5249 · 118th Congress

Coast Guard Academy Safe-to-Report Parity Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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.

This bill extends a requirement for specified military departments to establish a safe-to-report policy to the Coast Guard Academy. Under the bill, the Coast Guard must establish a policy that addresses the handling of minor collateral misconduct involving a servicemember or cadet who is the alleged victim of sexual assault.
