With all business disposed of relative to the 2016
Regular Session, legislators and the governor can receive grades (barring a
miraculous veto override session). Fourteen bills were selected and weighed for
computation, all but four having been voted upon in both chambers. These were
chosen from the watch list compiled throughout the session. For a bill’s
vote(s) to be selected, in one chamber there had to be more than one legislator
not voting for the winning or losing side.
Being that passage of bills depends upon the
seated membership of a body, not voting is counted as a negative vote. However,
if a legislator had a leave of absence granted for that day, his absent votes
weren’t counted for bills voted on that day and the score adjusted to take that
into account.
Here are the bills with votes for final passage in
every case on which the scorecard was computed, with the conservative/reform
position and the weighing indicated:
