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: OpenStates.org, a community project that pulls legislative data from the Florida House and Senate websites.
Official data: We track and report the votes reported by the State of Florida. 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 Those changes may or may not be published by the state.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.
"Voters Wanted" results are reported by the total, state-wide votes, until a district has at least 1,000 verified users in the Voatz app

Score:
41
%
The bill states that sex is solely based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth and makes it a violation for recipients of federal funds running athletic programs to allow biologically males to participate in women’s or girls' sports. It allows males to practice or train with women’s or girls' teams if no female is deprived of a roster spot, participation opportunity, scholarship, or any other benefit. The act calls for a study on biological males competing against females.
