With just a few exceptions, June 5 was the deadline for getting bills (introduced during this legislative session) out of their house of origin. Any bill not approved by June 5 (by its full house of origin) is dead for this year. So a lot of bills were voted on by the full Senate or Assembly on or shortly before June 5. We used the floor votes on these bills as the basis of a rating or scoring of each legislator.
Coming soon: overall scores for the legislators and sores on African American bills, Asian and Pacific Islander bills, and Latino/Latina bills.
