2015 Legislative Scorecard

Tuesday, October 27, 2020 19:58

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The 2015 Legislative Scorecard is now available.

Each year, United for Missouri selects bills that fall into the fiscal responsible, limited government mission of the organization. Bills are selected without regard to how any particular legislator voted. The bills scored have either been voted on by both chambers or by one or the other.

The bills are assigned weighted values. For example, HB116 and Medicaid Expansion votes carried the highest weighting. The Veto Override vote on HB116 will be scored and will carry up to half the total points available. It’s that important to Missouri’s economic future!

Absences are not counted against legislators on bills that were scored but the value of that bill’s score is subtracted from the total score available. No one with an absence on a scored bill can receive a 100% score as they did not vote on all bills.

Here are the bills scored, a brief description and the vote necessary to obtain the maximum score:

Rated Bill	Description		Score Vote:
HA16HB11	Medicaid Expansion	Amendment to expand Obamacaid	NO
HB116	Employee Freedom	Brings employee freedom to Missouri making the state competitive with 25 other states seeing job creation, wage increases and population growth	YES

The Senate would have had two (2) members who scored 100% but they each missed a vote.
