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.
Passed the House without a recorded vote. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted. Its text can still change before it becomes law.

This bill authorizes the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico (USIBWC) to accept funds to study, design, construct, operate, or maintain wastewater treatment works, water conservation projects, or flood control works, and related structures. The USIBWC is a federal government agency and the U.S. component of the International Boundary and Water Commission, which applies the boundary and water treaties of the United States and Mexico and settles differences that may arise in their application.
The USIBWC may not provide credit towards the nonfederal share of project costs, or reimbursement, to nonfederal entities in an amount that exceeds $5 million in any fiscal year.
Further, the USIBWC may not accept funds from any nonfederal entity that (1) is domiciled in, headquartered in, or organized under the laws of a foreign country of concern (e.g., China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran); or (2) has in place any agreement with a foreign country of concern.
Any funds accepted by the USIBWC must be deposited into the account titled International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico.
