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.

Understanding Student Parent Outcomes Act of 2023
This bill requires certain data collection and reporting related to the parental status of students attending institutions of higher education (IHEs).
First, the bill requires the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to develop certain data elements related to the parental status of students attending IHEs for the surveys conducted as a part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). NCES must annually collect information regarding these data elements for all IHEs participating in federal student aid programs.
Second, the Department of Education (ED) must provide technical assistance to states and IHEs for developing and carrying out data collection mechanisms for data on the parental status of students. Among other elements, this technical assistance must include recommendations to IHEs on best practices for communicating with students about data use and privacy, including how data will be used to help students who are parents or caregivers of dependent children.
Third, ED must study and report on best practices for improving outcomes for students who are parents or caregivers of dependent children.
