REST Act of 2023
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.

Restore Everyone's Sleep Tonight Act of 2023 or the REST Act of 2023
This bill authorizes an airport to impose an access restriction (i.e., a prohibition on the landing or takeoff of aircraft) between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. for aircraft, with exceptions.
The authorization to impose the restriction does not apply to exceptional circumstances, such as (1) a scheduled flight that is delayed in takeoff or landing due to weather; (2) emergency flights; and (3) flights for the purpose of preserving life, health, or safety.
An airport may impose a noise deterrence penalty on an air carrier or aircraft operator for a violation of the access restriction.
The restriction does not apply to the operation of military, law enforcement, and U.S. Coast Guard flights.
Further, the bill specifies that an airport may impose the restriction without approval or comment by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Transportation, any air carrier or aircraft operator, or any other entity.
