How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

Presents the bill, which clarifies that fines are eligible for a program where money spent on a class or rehabilitative treatment can be credited toward a fine, and notes prosecutors may object and the Statewide Association of Prosecutors supports it.
▶ Watch at 1:30:17Read what they said
or rehabilitative treatment, the money spent on the class can be credited towards their fine. The bill from last year has been working well. Many judges want to know if this applies to mandatory fines, which prompted this bill to clarify. So this clarifies that fines are eligible for this program. Prosecutors have the right to object if they feel it's not in the best interest of justice or the victim, et cetera. Um, it is dis, uh, discretionary for a judge to enforce. This bill is supported by the Statewide Association of Prosecutors. And with that, I will yield to any questions.
