The Louisiana Legislature Log presents (very belatedly, for reasons many readers can understand) its 2025 Louisiana Legislature scorecard. Twenty bills were selected and weighed for computation. These were chosen from the watch list compiled throughout the session, plus one that was similar to a watch list bill. For a bill’s vote 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. In the case of constitutional amendments, the governor’s score would be adjusted similarly, although none featured in this year’s scorecard.
Here are the bills on which the scorecard was computed:
