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 Those changes may or may not be published by the state.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.

The DETERRENT Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges to disclose foreign gifts and contracts worth $50,000 or more. Institutions must report these to the Secretary of Education, identify any connections to foreign governments, and maintain records for future audits. The bill aims to protect national interests by increasing transparency in foreign relationships.
