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.

Michael F. Donoughe Tax Credit for Off Road Electric Vehicles Act
This bill expands the clean vehicle tax credit to include new qualified off-road plug-in electric vehicles. The amount of the tax credit allowed for a new qualified off-road plug-in electric vehicle is 10% of the cost of the vehicle or $2,500, whichever is lower.
The bill defines a new qualified off-road plug-in electric vehicle as any vehicle that
- is acquired new and for use by the taxpayer;
- is made by a qualified manufacturer;
- is powered by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery with a capacity of at least six kilowatt hours;
- has final assembly occurring in North America;
- has a dry weight of less than 3,500 pounds;
- has three or more wheels;
- has one or more seats;
- is manufactured primarily for off-road use;
- is designed for use on rough terrain and, except in the case of a vehicle designed to operate on land and water, is not designed to operate on rails, in the air, or in or on the water; and
- is capable of reaching a speed of 40 miles per hour.
Under current law, a qualified manufacturer is any manufacturer that has a written agreement with the Internal Revenue Service and submits reports containing information about each eligible clean vehicle.
Finally, the bill allows the tax credit for a new qualified off-road plug-in electric vehicle to be transferred from the taxpayer to an eligible entity (e.g., vehicle dealer) in exchange for a financial benefit (e.g., rebate).
