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.

Service Starts At Home Act

This bill requires the Department of Education (ED) to carry out programs to support student participation in local government and volunteer service.

Specifically, ED must make competitive grants for states or local governments to support paid internships within local governments for secondary school students and undergraduate students.

Additionally, ED must make allocations for states to award competitive scholarships to eligible students who demonstrate a commitment to volunteer service work conducted for or on behalf of a government or nonprofit organization. Further, ED may carry out a program to award supplementary funds (on a competitive basis) directly to eligible students who have already received scholarships for volunteer service work.
