How we calculate the "Score" for each bill we're tracking:
Bill Score =
total votes matching what voters want
total votes cast by the Representative on bills we are tracking
Where we get our data: open.pluralpolicy.com, a community project that pulls legislative data from the Federal and State House and Senate websites.
Official data: We track and report the votes reported by the legislature. Displayed votes are the most recent data available from the House and Senate websites through Open States.
Changed votes: Legislators are entitled to change their votes after bills pass or fail. Those changes may or may not be published by the state.
No votes: A gray circle indicates that the legislator did not vote on the latest motion for that bill. They may have been absent or otherwise unable to vote.

Chamber:
This bill stipulates that health insurance policies may offer coverage for sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures only if they include equivalent coverage for detransition treatments. Additionally, insurers must offer policies that do not include such coverage. Importantly, the legislation prohibits the denial of coverage for mental health services treating gender dysphoria by affirming an insured's birth sex. The bill also bars individuals from changing the gender on their driver’s licenses.
