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.

Modernizing Government Technology Reform Act
This bill reauthorizes through 2032 and revises the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF). (The TMF is a revolving fund administered by the General Services Administration to improve information technology and enhance cybersecurity across the federal government.)
Changes to the TMF include
- requiring the Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer to annually submit to Congress (1) a list of the 10 legacy information technology (IT) systems that present the greatest security, privacy, and operational risks to the federal government; and (2) each federal agency's list of high-risk legacy IT systems;
- authorizing TMF funding for IT projects that improve the ability of the agency to perform its mission and deliver services to the public;
- additional requirements for agencies that receive funds to reimburse the TMF (for example, funds used for services or work in direct support of a project must be fully reimbursed); and
- revising the criteria by which agency proposals for TMF funding are evaluated to include the (1) impact of modernizing, retiring, or replacing legacy IT systems; and (2) ability of an agency to repay funds provided.
