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.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Feb 8, 2023
This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to appoint an Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety Technology and establish a rulemaking committee on aviation safety technologies. Under the bill, aviation safety technology is airborne or ground-based equipment that is meant to reduce the occurrence of aviation accidents (e.g., auto take-off, navigation, and taxi technology; navigation technology; and remote piloting technology).
Specifically, the new associate administrator's responsibilities include coordinating, developing, and implementing a variety of processes and measures for FAA certification and operational approval of aviation safety technologies.
Further, the aviation rulemaking committee must make recommendations for the development of a detailed roadmap for the certification and operational approval of aviation safety technologies by the FAA, with a focus on technologies, software, and automation to enhance operational safety. The committee must also issue a notice of proposed rulemaking based on any consensus recommendations.
