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.

This bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to delist the population of the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) within the Northern Great Lakes Region (i.e., Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, thus removing protection for the gray wolf in such region.
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Jun 1, 2023
This bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to delist the population of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) within the Northern Great Lakes Region (i.e., Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, thus removing protection for the gray wolf in such region.
In 1978, the FWS published a rule reclassifying the gray wolf as an endangered population throughout the contiguous United States and Mexico, except for the Minnesota gray wolf population, which was classified as threatened.
Within a year of this bill's enactment, the FWS must update its 2008 Post-delisting Monitoring Plan for the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment of the Gray Wolf.
The bill establishes an advisory committee to consult with the FWS on updating the monitoring plan, issuing the delisting rule, and monitoring the wolf population during the 5-year post-delisting monitoring period following the issuance of the rule.
