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.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

America First Energy Act
This bill places certain restrictions on board members and employees of the Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation of the Department of Energy (DOE). The foundation is an independent, agency-related foundation that assists DOE in addressing energy and environmental challenges through science and technology solutions, including by accelerating the development and commercialization of critical energy technologies and fostering public-private partnerships.
Specifically, the bill requires the foundation's voting board members, executive director, officers, and employees to be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) admitted as refugees, or non-U.S. nationals lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
Finally, the bill directs the foundation to require covered individuals listed on an application for a research and development award from the foundation to disclose all current and pending research support received or expected to be received by the individuals. Covered individuals means individuals who (1) contribute in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of a research and development project proposed to be carried out with an award from the foundation; and (2) are designated as a covered individual by the foundation.
