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.

Providing Useful Relief for Enhanced Water Act or the PURE Water Act
This bill establishes a new nonrefundable federal tax credit for 20% of the cost of a water filter used in a primary residence located in the United States (or 10% of the cost for a water filter used in a non-primary U.S. residence). (Limitations apply.)
Under the bill, the tax credit is limited to $2,500 in a tax year. However, the bill allows the amount of the tax credit in excess of the annual maximum amount to be carried forward to the succeeding tax year.
To qualify for the tax credit, the water filter must be a home water filtration system with the purpose of removing from drinking water at least 90% of (1) lead, (2) per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom (PFAS), and (3) perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
Finally, under the bill, the increase in the basis of the residence (the value of the residence for federal tax purposes) due to the water filter excludes the amount of the allowed tax credit.
