How we calculate the "Score" for each bill we're tracking:
Bill Score =
total votes matching what voters want
total votes cast by the Representative on bills we are tracking
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 Those changes may or may not be published by the state.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 pertains to the expiration of the mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases in Florida. Previously, the waiting period was 3 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, or upon the completion of the required background checks whichever occurred later. The bill changes this to have the waiting period end based on whichever is earlier, effectively shortening the waiting period in some cases.
