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.

Fisher House Availability Act of 2025
This bill expands eligibility for temporary lodging at a Fisher House to additional individuals receiving medical care or treatment at a Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) or non-VA facility or those accompanying individuals receiving such treatment.

Specifically, the bill authorizes the VA to provide lodging at a Fisher House on a space-available basis to
- members of the Armed Forces, regardless of duty status, or any individual on active duty (i.e., eligible individuals) who must travel a significant distance to receive care or services;
- family members and others accompanying such eligible individuals to receive care or services;
- veterans, members of a veteran's family, and others who must travel a significant distance for a member of a veteran's family to receive care or services; and
- eligible individuals, members of an eligible individual’s family, and others who must travel a significant distance for a member of an eligible individual’s family to receive care or services.
