H.R. 592 · 118th Congress
Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record Modernization Improvement Act
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.

Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record Modernization Improvement Act
This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from commencing a program activity (i.e., an activity under the Electronic Health Record Modernization Program) at a facility of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) until the VA certifies to Congress that the electronic health record system has met specified improvement objectives at each facility where the system is being utilized as of the date of the enactment of this bill.
