Where we get our data: open.pluralpolicy.com, a community project that pulls legislative data from the Federal and State House and Senate websites.
Official data: We track and report the votes reported by the legislature. Displayed votes are the most recent data available from the House and Senate websites through Open States.
Changed votes: Legislators are entitled to change their votes after bills pass or fail. Those changes may or may not be published by the state.
No votes: A gray circle indicates that the legislator did not vote on the latest motion for that bill. They may have been absent or otherwise unable to vote.

Chamber:
This bill, also known as the BOLIVAR Act, aims to prohibit U.S. executive agencies from contracting with persons who have significant business operations with the Maduro regime in Venezuela, not recognized as legitimate by the U.S. Exceptions are made for contracts necessary for humanitarian aid, disaster relief, noncombatant evacuations, national security interests, and maintaining U.S. government facilities in Venezuela. Contracts are also exempt if the entity has a valid license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control or relates to U.S. diplomatic missions in Venezuela. The Secretary of State can waive these prohibitions if deemed in the national interest.
