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.

The report must be submitted no later than 10 days after the President's budget is submitted to Congress and must include specified details regarding each unfunded priority, including
- a description of the priority, including the objectives to be achieved if the priority is funded;
- the amount of additional funding that is needed to achieve the objective; and
- certain budget information (e.g., the appropriation account and the project).
