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 Senate · May 10, 2023
This bill establishes circumstances under which reinitiation of consultation related to endangered or threatened species is not required under a land and resource management plan or a land use plan.
Specifically, the bill prohibits a land and resource management plan for a unit of the National Forest System or a land use plan for public lands from
- being considered to be a continuing federal agency action, or
- constituting a discretionary federal involvement or control for a distinct federal purpose.
This makes certain consultation requirements related to endangered or threatened species inapplicable to such plans.
