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.

Temporary Emergency Scheduling and Testing of Fentanyl Analogues Act of 2023 or the TEST Act
This bill provides for the rescheduling or removal from scheduling of certain fentanyl-related substances under the Controlled Substances Act.
Specifically, the bill requires the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to schedule, reschedule, or remove from scheduling fentanyl-related substances it has identified but not yet permanently scheduled within one year of the bill's enactment. The DEA must schedule, reschedule, or remove from scheduling any new fentanyl-related substances that it identifies after the bill's enactment within three years of identification. The DEA may temporarily schedule newly identified fentanyl-related substances under schedule I for up to three years. The bill provides for the rescheduling of fentanyl-related substances to lower schedules, or for their removal from scheduling altogether, based on appropriate scientific and medical evaluations from the Department of Health and Human Services.
The bill also provides for expedited registrations to research schedule I controlled substances, including by allowing for the continuation and consolidation of research under a single registration.
