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 Those changes may or may not be published by the state.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 modifies the preexisting Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) Program (school choice). The FES provides two scholarships one to assist with tuition and fees to attend a private or charter school or to assist in transportation costs to a different public school. The other scholarship provides awards for students with disabilities. Starting in 2024-2025 the maximum number of participants in the program will increase annually by 3%. There is an indirect appropriation, as the funding for this program is funded through previous funds that are automatically increased based on formulas related to student enrollment.
