Placed only by their own votes: we took the 115 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 315 →H.B. 147 Government Form Submission Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Says the Senate change gives a few small special service districts with less than a million dollars in revenue an extra year to become compliant with the electronic form submission requirements.
▶ Watch at 15:01Read what they said
I would. Um, this is a small change that, uh, I actually asked the Senate to make. After working with the special service districts, they found that there are a few small special service districts with less than a million dollars in revenue and they just needed a little more time to be able to make sure all their forms can be, um, received and sent electronically. So we just granted them, uh, um, an extra year to be able to come compliant with the law and that is the change.

S.B. 257 Domestic Relations Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Explains that the substitute adds a child support calculation change covering social security disability insurance, which had been in a separate bill that passed unanimously.
▶ Watch at 59:34Read what they said
I would, um, colleagues, as I, uh, was talking with the good sponsor of this legislation and her great work on this bill, um, I had a similar bill that dealt with, um, child support calculations. Just changed a tiny little line that ensured that, um, social security disability insurance was included. This was running in a separate bill throughout the process that had gone through unanimously through this body and also through Senate Committee. But we thought rather than take up extra time on the floor, why don't we just put this in this bill because it was dealing with the same subject. So that's what you see in the sub in the, um, substitute. Thank you.
