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

All 139 →H.B. 113 Emergency Reporting Abuse Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says the bill combines two similar bills to reduce the number of bills, creates a Class B misdemeanor for calling 911 when there is no emergency, and does not apply to accidental or uninformed calls.
▶ Watch at 22:25Read what they said
Yes. Just, just quickly, in an effort to decrease the number of bills, we found that the Senator sponsor and I were working on the same issue. Instead of having two bills that had, um, clauses to make them work together, we combined. So what what the changes in this are is that it creates a Class B misdemeanor for calling 9 1 1 when there is no emergency. And it's also repetitive. And they've been told that this is a repetitive nature and they're abusing the system. It does not create a crime for someone who accidentally calls or who someone that just doesn't know that their call is not appropriate. So it it doesn't, it does the same …
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Presents the bill to allow hospital assessment proceeds to fund a quality incentive program, says it has no state fiscal impact, and says it would benefit hospitals across Utah.
▶ Watch at 1:05:58Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker Pro Tem. Uh, this is a pretty straightforward bill that enables, uh, proceeds from the hospital, uh, assessment program to be utilized for a quality incentive program that supports better, uh, health outcomes for Utahans. The legislation leaves the current CMS approved Hospi Hospital assessment structure as is, which is why the bill has a zero fiscal note. Uh, currently, uh, federal law allows, uh, states to make payments above the base capitation rate to support quality and initiatives, and is kind of the, the only current area in, uh, existing federal law that allows those types of payment programs to exist. This new quality incentive program aligns with federal and state efforts to facilitate collaboration …
S.B. 305 Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Explains the hospital assessment, the intergovernmental transfer, and how federal Medicaid matching funds work, saying the program does not use taxpayer money.
▶ Watch at 1:09:01Read what they said
Uh, yes. Thank, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Pro Tem, uh, for, for many years. Um, we have a program in place called, uh, uh, directed Payments. We have a hospital assessment and an IGT for state institutions called an IGT, uh, intergovernmental Transfer, um, from base Medicaid rates. The assumption is, is that no healthcare provider will really provide services at BA base Medicaid rates. So the federal government for many, many years has allowed a system where the state can choose to pay higher, uh, Medicaid rates, but the state has to fund the fmap, that's the, the federal matching component of Medicaid. Uh, them through state dollars, they allow, instead of assessing those increased cost to the taxpayers …
