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.

Utilize Standards for All Act or the USA Act
This bill requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support U.S. involvement in the development of standards for artificial intelligence (AI) and other critical and emerging technologies through briefings, pilot programs, and other activities.
Specifically, NIST must (1) brief Congress on opportunities for the federal government to support industry-led efforts to develop technical standards for AI and other critical and emerging technologies, (2) establish a web portal to inform U.S. industries and federal agencies of international efforts and opportunities to develop such standards, and (3) establish a five-year pilot program and award associated grants to support stakeholder meetings in the U.S. on developing such standards.
NIST must also advance the principles of openness, due process, and consensus in the development of international standards and promote coordination among federal agencies with respect to private-sector standards development for emerging technologies.
