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 Those changes may or may not be published by the state.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 creates the Purple Alert system, a protocol aimed at aiding in the search for certain missing adults with cognitive or mental disabilities not related to Alzheimer's, dementia, or substance abuse. This system will include policies for local law enforcement to activate a Purple Alert and specifies the duties of the Department of Law Enforcement's Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse. Purple Alerts are designed for specific circumstances where there is an immediate danger or serious bodily harm to the missing person, and their disappearance necessitates law enforcement intervention.
